Muri Huaitang Goose Habitat is commonly known as Bird Island, 45 kilometers west of Auckland, and Muriwai is known in Maori as Muriwai. It was once named one of the world's 30 great views by the famous American National Geographic Magazine. Muriwai Beach Murihuai Beach, about 45 minutes drive. The area is a landscape created by an undersea volcanic eruption, so the sandy beach is covered with black rock and fine sand, and is a favorite for surfers and tourists. Bird Island, a nature reserve specially designated by the New Zealand government, is actually a rock community on the coast, with a boulder in the central area pulling up from the sea, much like a large sawn-off stump, and the steep rock on the sea. Very a bit of a powerful, Junlang temperament. Every August to April, the geese in the pond breeding season, the young birds are preyed by their parents after their shells are released, and they practice flying under the leadership of the adult birds. After the young birds grow to 15-16 weeks, they will face a severe test. Without parents, 280 kilometers alone migrated to Australian waters, and the mortality rate was 70% to 80%. The brave pond geese arrived at the age of 2 to 3 years old with plump feathers and bright colors. They flew back to their birthplace and continued to reproduce their children. Then they finally returned to their hometown. It was a great miracle of life for the migratory birds of the pond geese.

Today I visited the northwestern island of Auckland - Murray Wai Island. Because thousands of tang geese hatch here every year, they fly back to Australia together in March next year, so there is also a bird island called. Tang geese are small albatrosses, and the bird language is willing to win the heart, and the white head is not separated. Bird Island is still a famous black beach, the sand is particularly soft, and it is also a paradise for surfers.

In the surfing season, there will be many surfing enthusiasts here, because there will be wind and waves. It attracts thousands of tourists every year. It's worth recommending.

Every year, the pond geese come here to breed their next generation. They are seabirds, laying their eggs in the cracks of rocks. When the birds fly, they will fly away in groups. We are lucky to catch up with this opportunity. Here, the sky and sea are the same color. White seabirds sometimes fly to the blue sky and sometimes rush to the sea. The scenery is beautiful. The sea turned into a golden and charming sunset.

Muriwai Beach, also known as Bird Island, is west of Auckland. Blue sky, white clouds, blue water, black beach, beautiful - the sand is probably high in iron content, shining in the sun. There are many people fishing, barbecuing or surfing on the shore.
