Forest and Bird is reminding Island Bay dog owners to take care in areas where penguins may be nesting.
It has posted a picture on social media of a dead penguin.

"It saddens us us to inform you of yet another penguin death. The penguin was found in Island bay, with marks suspected of that of a dog. Although cause of death is inconclusive, we would like to just remind our community dog walkers, to ensure their doggo is on an adequate leash."
