See Alderney for the gannet colony Les Étacs, popularly called Gannet Rock
Horuhoru Rock (Gannet Rock) is an uninhabited rocky islet lying in the Hauraki Gulf, about 1.5 km north of the north-eastern end of Waiheke Island, New Zealand. It has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it is a nesting site for about 2500 pairs of Australasian gannets.
