Established around 1900 the gannets replace an earlier nesting site for white terms. By the mid 1970s the gannets had run out of space and began nesting on the mainland. Over 1000 pairs now nest here annually.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of MAB-480, a majestic Australasian gannet, gracefully soaring through the vast skies above the breathtaking Muriwai gannet colony. Nestled along the rugged west coast near Auckland, North Island, New Zealand, this avian paradise has been home to these magnificent creatures since 1900. Once upon a time, white terms ruled this nesting site until our feathered friends decided it was high time for an upgrade. By the mid-1970s, space became scarce and these clever gannets boldly ventured onto mainland territory. Today, over 1000 pairs of them flock here annually! With their wings outstretched against a backdrop of crashing waves and golden sands on this picturesque beachscape, these sea birds have truly found their sanctuary. Their vibrant plumage contrasts beautifully with the coastal waters as they dive fearlessly into its depths in search of fishy delights. Mark Boulton's incredible photography captures not just a single moment but also showcases nature's resilience and adaptability. This image is a testament to how wildlife can thrive even amidst challenges. So let your imagination take flight alongside these elegant aerial acrobats! Hang this stunning print on your wall and be transported to an enchanting world where seabirds rule the skies and nature reigns supreme – all from the comfort of your own home!
