Gannets on New Zealand Cape Kidnappers reserve this spring (their fall). Just a wonderful place for photography and watching wildlife. Perfect day.

Hi Honey, I’m Home!
If you ever get to New Zealand and love wildlife photography, Cape Kidnapper’s / Hawke’s Bay is a must. It’s a gannet refuge, with normal rules, and a phenomenal chance to photography waterfowl.

On a cool New Zealand fall day (spring here in Texas) the Gannet’s were absolutely thick. And flying, zooming, nesting, everywhere. Such amazing grace and beauty in flight. We had 35-40 knot winds, enabling the birds to hover midair, for incredible shots. Pentax K3 III with Pentax 55-300 PLM at 120mm. ISO 1250 for 1/1600 at f7.1. Late afternoon twighlight.

“Did you remember the shrimp?”
Mr. Gannet returning home on Cape Kidnapper’s New Zealand. Cold, windy day in March

Cold, windy, hazy day! There are thousands upon thousands of these gannets on Cape Kidnappers. It’s a major nesting and breeding site. Shooting is challenging because, like this day in March, winds can be 45+ knots with a cold wind. The birds are well adapted. They are strong fliers capable of 60 mph dives and go deep in the ocean to catch fish. If you are in New Zealand it’s well worth a trip! Pentax K3 III with Pentax 55-300 PLM at 108mm. ISO 800 for 1/1600 at f6.3.
