Little Blue Penguins (Eudyptula minor) or Kororā (Māori name) are the world's smallest penguins.
These charming birds are part of the Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony. They arrive on the beach at dusk to return to their nests for the night. (Recorded April 18, 2023) #nature#birds
@Sheril I’ve seen this extraordinary nightly trek in NZ and Australia and it just seems to go against evolution. Why would they develop such short stumpy legs to climb such rough high cliffs to sleep and nest? Baffling!
