Yellow-eyed Penguin (Megadyptes antipodes)
The Yellow-eyed Penguin or Hoiho (meaning noise-shouter) is native to New Zealand, and is the worlds rarest penguin. Approximations of remaining numbers vary from 4000 to 6000 so I think I was very priviledged to see several while walking along the coast within the Katiki Point Reserve on the North Otago (NZ) coast today, and delighted to get some photos of them.
Taken with Canon 450D. I hope you like these two. Thanks for viewing and for any comments.

They are hoping for the return of "Happy Feet" and keeping a lookout. Nice and cute capture Lyn.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
How lucky you were to see them in person, I love penguins they are so cute. Excellent shot

Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.
Love it, Lyn! Top notch work. Faved them both. Are they loud?

Well these two are accounted for, now you only have to track down the rest of them. Whatever you do don't do your fish impression in front of them. Good clarity and focus in the photo Lyn. Nice work.

I love the shot. We didn't see any penguins of this type. I wish we had.
