Our night owls...the Little Blue Penguin

6/8/2017

In the world of Little Blue Penguins, males arrive at nest sites first. Nests are prepared and territories formed with displays used to attract mates and deter the competition. Once established, the penguin pair continue to embellish their nest with leaves, twigs and even the odd ponga frond. This is the second year that we have filmed the penguins in this box and they are currently working all night long to complete their nest. Can you spot the third penguin entering the nest box (maybe last years chick or perhaps a friendly neighbour?)

Owls are nocturnal animals and they are active at night. I always think of the possible reasons why these animals can move more actively at night wherein there are no light and the place is so pitch black. I want to have eyes like that and I will use that for good. A purpose that can benefit other people as well. I just hope that these animals are protected and the species are insured from any harm or danger. I love everything about this post.
