Morus serrator
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.

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Mark Boulton, we witness nature's finest show at the Muriwai gannet colony in New Zealand. As visitors gather on the viewing platform, they are treated to a mesmerizing display of nesting gannets. These majestic Australasian birds have made this mainland their home since the 1970s when their original nesting site became overcrowded. With over 1000 pairs now calling this place home annually, it's no wonder that these gannets have become quite the sensation! The sight of them perched on rocks overlooking the sea creates an awe-inspiring backdrop against Auckland's stunning coastline. As you gaze upon this photo print, you can almost hear the symphony of squawks and calls echoing through the air as these social creatures go about their daily lives. It's not just a mere gathering; it's a bustling community where nests dot every available space. So grab your binoculars and join us at this avian extravaganza! Witness firsthand how these seabirds have transformed an ordinary beach into a thriving habitat for generations to come. This snapshot of wildlife in action reminds us all of nature's resilience and beauty – truly something worth cherishing. Remember, though: No commercial use allowed! Let's keep these feathered stars shining bright without any distractions from corporate interests.
