Blue Penguin
Marlborough Sounds: Blue Penguin
Eudyptula minor or korora. About 40 cm long and very cute. They swim along on the surface with their heads down, looking for small fish or squid, and then they dive and jet along under the water at considerable speed. We saw one or two penguins every day.
