Bachelor Party
This is truly an exciting time to visit The Royal Albatross Centre - the only mainland breeding colony of the Northern Royal Albatross in New Zealand.
Exciting because on the one hand you get to see dedicated parents looking after their single chick. Currently, during the guard stage, one parent stays with the chick 24/7 while the other parent spends time out at sea foraging for food swapping over guard duties every three to four days.
On the other hand, we get to see teenagers who have returned to land after spending close to 5 years out at sea and they have only one thing on their mind - putting on a show to impress their future life partner. And one of the ways they do this is by having a good ol' teenager party.
Watch the video in 4K with your audio on and you'll see what I mean :)
Yellow-eyed Penguin
This year to mark Penguin Awareness Day allow me to turn the spotlight on our very own Hoiho - Yellow-eyed penguins - the only penguin in the world with a pale yellow band through the eye.
All images and video footage was captured on the Canon R5 paired with a Canon RF 800mm f11 lens. Clearwater Wildlife Tours Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust Canon New Zealand
Little Blue Penguin - Kororā
This video shows a Little Blue Penguin - Kororā flying through the water as it actively feeds off the Dunedin Coast. Little blues are the smallest penguins in the world. Look closely at this slow motion video and you just might see the fish jumping out of the water trying to get away from the penguin.
Video shot on the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Poetry in Motion
This video was taken at dawn as we were sailing the Foveaux Strait from Stewart Island to Bluff. We had these Shearwaters following us for pretty much half the way and seeing them glide just over the water's surface was sheer poetry in motion.
