Another one of our beach treks revealed this very family friendly coastline up in Karikari. Tokerau Beach is within the peninsula and is home to 2 Maraes consisting of Ngati Kahu hapu and Ngati Tara Ki Werowero.
Recently in mid January there was a shark scare there where a Bronze Whaler came right up into the shallows. One the day we were there we saw mostly lots of seagulls, see that big gull on the bottom right? He is a Southern Black Backed Gull also named Karoro but he is an adolescent bird rather than an adult.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday, Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

Those gulls look bigger than the usual.
Another gorgeous NZ beach
a beautiful shot
They would not be there long if our dog saw them. Nice beach
Great beach shot.
What a beautiful beach. It looks very gentle... good for kids. Hopefully no sharks!
They seem relaxed.
Much as I love birds and animals I find it hard to like black backed gulls.
Like gull everywhere, they are looking for something to scavenge.
I followed the link, that looks like a big shark!!
Creative photo of the gulls and very inviting photo ~

Great beach shot. The birds have the beach to themselves.
What a beautiful beach photo, and the gulls are just a bonus.
I love the call of those big gulls, it speaks of 'beach' to me more than anything else does.
I see the gulls are all social distancing! Have a great week ahead
...your birds sure look warmer than ours! I'd love to be walking on that beach today!
I sure miss seagulls and the ocean, thank you for a glimpse.
