Photo: Australasian Gannet Profile Muriwai Beach New Zealand

A beautiful profile picture of an Australasian Gannet at its nesting grounds at Muriwai Beach near Aukland on the North Island of New Zealand.

An Australasian Gannet is mostly white in color except for its dark wing tips, the pale bluish-grey hues and black markings on its beak, the bright yellow color of its head and the pale blue shade of its eye. This profile of an Australasian Gannet at the Muriwai Gannet Colony near Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand, allows humans to have a close view of its beautiful markings.

Muriwai Beach is a location where the gannets congregate and use the rock cliffs for breeding and nesting grounds. When scanning the landscape around Muriwai Beach, hundreds of these beautiful yellow heads can be seen with their unique blue colored eyes keeping watch for any approaching danger especially when the chicks are present.
