Keeping up with the kororā, live cam launched on Wellington coast
Anyone with an internet connection can gain a glimpse into the secret lives of kororā thanks to new cameras set up by Urban Wildlife Trust and Niwa.
Kororā, or little blue penguins, are found around New Zealand’s coasts and grow to only 35 centimetres tall – the smallest species of penguin in the world.
They visit land between June and March each year to lay eggs, care for their young and moult before returning to sea to feed during April and May.
Two high resolution cameras and an external microphone have been installed in a little blue penguin nest box in Evans Bay, with Kororā Cam now streaming straight to YouTube.
