Gannets squabbling over seaweed. Gannet colony, New Zealand.

Some amateur video clips and photos from a visit to a gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand.
Gannets were squabbling over a piece of seaweed. Their nests are built from seaweed and bird poop. (Pretty smelly).
I visited the colony in October 2022 (New Zealand springtime). Was interesting with amazing views. The colony is on the edge of a cliff and the only way in is via commercial operator. I went with Gannet Safaris Overland.
Some more footage on previous video.
Footage by Xanthe.

They were a bit stinky (nests of bird poop & seaweed) but interesting to watch. The views on the cliff were amazing

Speaking of poop. Did you know bird pee is white and bird poo is black or brown.
