Yellow-Eyed Penguins!

Of all the species of penguins in the world,
yellow-eyed are the most endangered. There
are only about 4000 of them left. New Zealand,
particularly the coast where I am living, is one of
their main habitats. I was very lucky to get up
close and personal with a few of them at an old
Maori 'Pa' yesterday...very close! This one waddled
up the hill right next to me! Katiki, New Zealand,
