RAINBOWS & GANNETS






















August 19, 2010
Winter still has hold of us in Auckland. It rains every other day although spectacular rainbows are the reward. Yet, days are getting longer and the gannets are nesting. Yes, gannets!

A gannet colony exists above the wild, western Murawai Beach. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STUFF!!!! They mate for life, fly to Australia for months, then return to find their mates.
