The Wandering Tattler

Oamaru is a small city on the east coast of the South Island, between Christchurch and Dunedin. It's famous for breeding colonies of two different species of small penguin, the Yellow-eyed Penguin and Blue Penguin (same species we'd seen near Adelaide and in Sydney Harbor in Australia). The Yellow-eyed penguins return to shore before nightfall and climb steep cliffs to the their burrows. This seems like a remarkable achievement for a creature that seems primarily adapted to swimming in the ocean.
