Default Gannet Colony, Muriwai NZ

My posts have slowed down a bit at the moment because there are 4 little Grandies keeping me fully occupied and well away from the DPS scene. Bless them, I love having them, but am always quite happy to see Mum come to collect them after a week. Hopefully things will return to normal by the weekend.

Awesome....there seems to be an incredible amount of beautiful beach places in NZ. Very very nice, I also love the framing.

Thankyou Bernz. If ever you are up around the Auckland area overnight, it is well worth a trip out to Muriwai to see this great sight. You would have a blast out there with your camera.

Many thanks Ella. I must admit we are certainly blessed with very beautiful beaches, the Western side, quite wild and rugged, while the Eastern beaches are very picturesque...well both are picturesque in their own way.

Thanks heaps Steve. You'd have a field day up there with your keen eye and snappy happy camera.
