Stock of Wild Bird Pictures, gannets at Muriwai Beach near Auckland. Takapu Refuge which is located at the southern end of Muriwai beach is an established breeding area for gannets. It is estimated that about 1,200 pairs of adult gannets congregate and nest here each summer and can be seen between August and March each year. For enthusiasts, it's a great location for getting wild bird pictures.
