Native Wildlife: South Island

We saw this albatross from the dolphin watching boat. We saw huge numbers of dolphins all around the boat, and loved watching them jump and dive.

The paradise duck and the shag (cormorant) are two other birds we enjoyed seeing. I'll add more. We saw but didn't photograph a little blue penguin, and also saw shearwaters, petrels, and many others.

Lenny took all the above photos with his new SLR camera. I took this one of a NZ fur seal on a beach near Kaikoura.
