Every time a gannet returns to it's mate and nest, the pair perform ritualised greeting behaviours that reinforce their pair bond. It's like kissing your partner on the cheek when you come home, except it involves a bit more screaming and occasional biting. That said, it's really special to watch. #seabirds #gannets #wildnz #muriwaimagic #aotearoa #newzealand #wanderwonder #birdstagram #perfectportraits #birdseye (at Muriwai Gannet Colony)
