Muriwai Beach e la colonia dei gannet


I would like to show you the magic of Muriwai beach, not far from my house, and beautiful even on a gray day. 

La spiaggia di Muriwai, nell'ovest di Auckland e non lontano da casa mia, è un posto magico e unico. Anche in una giornata grigia, che fa apparire la sabbia nera ancor più nera, si possono fare lunghe passeggiare e, a bassa marea, vedere bellissime stelle marine. 










A seal! Una foca!!



The gannets colony

Muriwai è famosa per la colonia di Gannet, uccelli migratori che vengono a nidificare qui da agosto a marzo. 






E` uno spettacolo vedere questi uccelli ed i loro piccoli così da vicino, sembra di essere in un documentario di Geo!

  1. Thanks for taking part in Blog4NZ Alessandra. It's been a fantastic event with so many high quality posts promoting New Zealand. Your pictures portray our nature at its best- simple but unique.
    And I never knew gannets roosted at Muriwai Beach. I had thought Cape Kidnappers was the Southern Hemisphere's only mainland rookery.Thanks for enlightening me. .
