Part 2 of a lucky escape taken this morning of a sneaky NZ sea lion vs NZ fur seal. We are glad he had the speed to get out of that one! 😱🦭💨 🫣

Some dramatic footage of a very lucky escape taken on this mornings tour! See part 2 in next post. 🫣 🦭💨 Very sneaky NZ Sea lion lying in wait for an unsuspecting NZ fur seal.

Arguably home to more wildlife per square metre than anywhere in Dunedin.

Arguably home to more wildlife per square metre than anywhere in Dunedin.




For five generations, the Clearwater family have been the caretakers of the pristine land and water around Cape Saunders/Kaimata – arguably home to more wildlife per square metre than anywhere in Dunedin.

These two decided to exit fast and take alternate route up to their nests! A bit dicey with so many NZ sea lions blocking their path. See part 3 of struggle street in our next post

Our new crater platform looking over the Cape Saunders Lighthouse.
Stunning at anytime of the day! In memory of my late husband Mike Kerr we have built a very special place for me and our 3 boys to remember him 🥰 ❤️

Thanks to the wonderful team at Dunedin Wildlife Hospital Mr Read seems to be on the mend. Also big thanks to Paula our guide who spotted him coming out of the ocean and struggling up the beach. She picked him up and dropped him of at The OPERA for assessment and they decided he needed to head to hospital.
Great team effort! 🥰 👏
We hope to see him back on the beach someday soon 🙏 🐧
