From Queenstown we drove past Dunedin and out onto the Otogo peninsula
To see the Albatross colony. Albatross can have a 9 foot wingspan, and although you can't get close to them, it the only place in the world you can see them nesting that's not a cold inaccessible rock in the southern ocean.
Around the albatross rookery
Nearby there's a Penguin colony
Most of the adults spend the day out fishing, but the babies stay behind, sleeping in the shade
Closer to the beach there was a sea lion, probably why the baby penguins are so far from the beach.
And a tiny Fairy Blue Penguin on a nest in a box
The sea lion didn't seem to mind our presence
