Gannet colony

This is from a while ago when I visited the gannet colony at Muriwai, North-West of Auckland.
Not much space to spare on the top of this prime real estate!
Went with @julzmaioro and @rustymonkey and a couple of other friends to see 'Finding Vivian Maier' - we all enjoyed it - lucky one young man found and rescued her negatives.
