This little penguin/kororā isn’t shy, it’s sleeping, and I’m taking a clue from this little blue in that I’ll be taking a break from posting for a couple of weeks. Until then, here’s a little bit about little blues: We call them “little blue penguins” for the colours of their dorsal feathers, although some can be more grey than blue. They’re the most common penguin around New Zealand coasts, and they’re also found in Australia, where they’re called fairy penguins. Little blues come ashore to sleep at night; this one was photographed at Totaranui Beach towards the end of the day.
