Muriwai Gannet Colony - One of the scenic icons of Rodney District must surely be the gannet colony at Muriwai in the west. The rugged west coast offers a bleak nesting place for New Zealand's northernmost colony of gannets that come here in the spring to breed. Nests were originally on Motuara Island but the increasing numbers have spread to the headland.

Breeding starts in early August when the colony is full of noise and activity as the birds find their lifelong mates. Elaborate and graceful courting rituals take place. November brings the chicks that clamour for food from their busy parents. Gracefully the gannets soar above their offspring then swoop towards the sea for the fish to feed their greedy chicks.
