The Birds

Alfred Hitchcock has nothing on the Otago Peninsula. This jutting, ruggedly beautiful, motion sickness inducing peninsula is home to a wide variety and number of birds.

The Royal Albatross Center* is on the Otago Peninsula. The Penguin Place resides in a curved nook of shoreline, and shags take up residence in any cliff face that looks like they could accurately aim for a passerby's head with their long range emissions.

My first penguin sighting in NZ!

*The albatross were not flying the day we went out. I was told to come back in February. And they spell center wrong by my standards writing it as "centre".
