Penguins are not only living on Antarctica but sometimes you can see them in New Zealand as well. Not all the species are abundant. The yellow eye penguin is very rare and only sometimes visible in the south. We made a detour and a walk to visit the place were the sometimes hide. We were very lucky! Here is the most northerly yellow eyed penguin in the world. The chick was late and still not ready for open sea operations. However, it managed to climb thirty meters above sea level on the rocks, between the shrubs. You can see the chick in the center of the picture, left of the red pole. We were exited to see such a rare bird.
