Mist over Muriwai

Took a trip down to Muriwai this afternoon to find out how the gannets were doing. The sea was rough and the spray thrown up by the waves made the woods behind the dunes rather eerie.



The gannets were struggling with the wind, hovering above the cliff top attempting to land in the right place - next to their mates. No signs of chicks yet but we guessed that the birds were sitting on their eggs. Will have to return in a few weeks for a progress check.
