Drones are being flown amongst the gannets at Auckland's Muriwai Beach, much to the alarm of birdwatchers and conservationists. Permits are needed to fly drones on conservation land and in Auckland's regional parks, but some people appear to be oblivious to the rules. Hundreds of gannets nest at Muriwai Beach from August to March, on a big cliff, with the ocean beyond. Muriwai Beach is a regional park, so permission is needed to fly drones there.
