🐧 Romance is on the radar!

These two were spotted canoodling on our penguin camera tonight. Let’s hope for a successful pairing and a productive breeding season. 💛 🙏

With yellow-eyed penguin numbers declining rapidly, maintaining our local population is more critical than ever:

Current status: We are regularly seeing 3 to 9 birds on our evening tours at present.

Recent history: We managed to stabilize with 10 breeding pairs for both last year and the previous year.

Context: This is down from the 12 nests we recorded in the 2022/2023 season, highlighting how crucial every pair is.

Every single nesting pair is a vital win for the survival of this species.

Grandstanding sea lions, stunning scenery, and special guides. We couldn't have said it better ourselves, Harry! 🤩

Heartfelt thanks to UK journalist, Harry Bullmore for sharing the magic of our wildlife experience in The Independent. You can read all about Harry's run-cation online at 🔗 https://www.independent.co.uk/health-and-fitness/new-zealand-runcation-exercise-holiday-trend-b3023522.html

With many people now making running the focal point of their forays abroad, Harry Bullmore headed to New Zealand to take part in an ultramarathon and see if holidays built around hoofing it really represent an enjoyable use of your time away from home
