  • NZ Dotterel nests are mere scrapings in the sand, placing their eggs and chicks at much vulnerability to storms, predation, off-road vehicles, and careless feet.  As depicted in this image, the nest is commonly among shells and driftwood just above the high tide mark, with two to three eggs simply laid in a scrape in the sand.

  • Over 1200 pairs of Australasian Gannets nest at Muriwai each summer, typically between August and March.  A single blue egg is laid with an incubation time of approximately 44 days.  The parents take turns in incubating the egg, similar to that of penguins.  At 15 weeks the chicks take off on their maiden flight of 2000 kilometers to Australia and they don't return for 2 to 6 years.
