Overcrowded Rookery.
The “house full” sign might well have appeared on the gannet sanctuary at Cape Kidnappers; the accommodation available has become so overtaxed that many of the birds have been obliged to look elsewhere. A recent inspection revealed that many of the birds have nested on the mainland or on the Black Reef.
