Here's an actual #penguin that I once happened across ... A rare #YellowEyedPenguin, known also as #hoiho or #tarakaka, a species endemic to #NewZealand. 🇳🇿 They are an #EndangeredSpecies with populations declining… One of the reasons that #WorldPenguinDay is important. #savethepenguins 🙏 #HappyWorldPenguinDay 😃🌏🐧🗓️ ... This was taken on the 7th of December 2016 AT #KatikiPointLighthouse #WildlifeReservation ... North of #Dunedin on the #SouthIslandNZ! 😍 🐧 #Megadyptesantipodes 💙 ➡️ Swipe right for video ... A pretty vocal bird but not an exactly pretty sound to our ears! 🙉. . . . . . . #birds #birdlovers #penguinlovers #penguinsofinstagram #penguinstagram #nature #wildlife #conservation #instagood #instabirds #penguinlove 💙 #PenguinDay 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 #love #penguinsofinsta 🧊 #wildlifewatching #birdwatching 👀 (at Katiki Point Lighthouse Wildlife Reservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccx3GpEsnf7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[NZ-RT30] Zum Sonnenaufgang ging es an den Strand vorm „Katiki Point Lighthouse“. Hier starteten die Gelbaugenpinguine wie versprochen in den Tag, und ließen sich auch nicht von umherliegenden Robben beeindrucken. Nach kurzer Auto-Ausgrabungs-Rettungsaktion ging es ins Restaurant "Fleurs Place“. Ein absolutes Muss, wenn ihr in der Ecke seid! Gut gesättigt machten wir uns auf den Weg zum von Bergen umgebenen „Lake Pukaki“ in dessen Nähe wir die Nacht verbrachten. At sunrise we went to the beach in front of "Katiki Point Lighthouse". Here, as promised, the yellow-eyed penguins started there day and were not slightly impressed by the seals lying around. After a short car excavation rescue action we went to the restaurant "Fleurs Place". An absolute must if you are in the area! Well satiated, we made our way to the "Lake Pukaki" surrounded by mountains near which we spent the night. #newzealand #neuseeland #katikipointlighthouse #camperlife #seals #robben #entdecken #travel #travelblog #polatravel #polarocket #traveltheworld #adventure #abenteuer #lonelyplanet #wonderful_places #bestplacestogo #yelloweyedpenguins #penguins #sunrise #fleursplace #lakepukaki #fruehaufsteher (hier: Katiki Point Lighthouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMob1QwJwv6/?igshid=wa4adilknbrm
