A Rare Encounter on a Wild New Zealand Shore

Our recent journey to New Zealand led us deep into the fjords and rugged coastlines of the South Island. On a remote beach near Lake Moeraki, we came across a truly special sight—a Fiordland Crested Penguin (Tawaki) standing on the water’s edge, framed by the rampant rainforest. Unlike the icy landscapes we often associate with penguins, this elusive species prefers misty forests and rugged coastlines, making it one of the world’s most secretive and fascinating penguins. With only a few thousand pairs left, this penguin treks through dense rainforest to reach hidden nesting sites. Each year, they travel vast distances at sea, returning to the same hidden spots to breed. Covering total swimming distances of up to 6 800km (4 225 miles) over 8-10 weeks.

Seeing this penguin so close, in such an unexpected setting, was a surreal moment—one of many encounters shaping our journey to uncover the lesser-known lives of the world’s penguins.

BURCHELL'S COURSER Bloukopdrawwertjie - cursorius rufus

This bird was named after the English naturalist: William John Burchell. Although this specific Burchell's Courser chick was photographed in Namibia, they are located all throughout the western regions of southern Africa such as Namibia, Botswana, south-western Angola and the west of South Africa. The Burchell's Courser survives in these desert regions by feeding on seeds and insects. They grow from this small chick's size, which isn't larger than a golf ball, to approximately 21cm in height and weigh around 75g.
