Australasian Gannet, Muriwai, New Zealand

The greenish-yellow lines on the Australiasian gannet's black webbed feet are quite striking up close! The male and female Australasian Gannet are similar in plumage. Most of the body is white, with dark tips on the major wing feathers and the inner tail feathers. The head is buff-yellow and the bill pale blue-grey with striking black borders to the bill sheaths. In immature birds, the head and upperparts are mostly brown with scattered amounts of white spotting.
