GANNETS RETURN
Mating And Nesting At Cape Kidnappers Dominion Special Service. HASTINGS, October 3. Mating and nesting is in full swing at the gannet sanctuary at Cape Kidnap pers and indications are that this season should be an exceptionally good one, said Ranger D. G. Williams tonight. The birds have returned late from their annual migration, but there is greater activity than, is usual at this time of the year. The three rocks at Black Reef adjunct to the main colony which were recently acquired are fully populated by birds and nesting space soon will be at a premium. Young and old gannets still are winging their wa“ys home from their mysterious flight, but the numbers are diminishing each day and shortly the full colony will be assembled in its summer residence.
