Gannet in Flight

in #photofeed6 years ago

Australasian Gannets (Morus serrator) at their colony on the headland at Muriwai Beach, North Island, New Zealand. Most of the birds breed in NZ however fledglings fly directly to Australia, and typically do not return to their home colonies until their third year. The birds cruse above the surface of the water, herding fish into dense shoals, then fold their wings back and dive into the water to catch their prey.

Great shot.
not exactly the most beautiful birds ( for me), but they are interesting for sure!

Thanks. I think they are wonderfully majestic birds to watch. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess ;-)
