The Little Blue Penguin is a pretty important wee dude. Unfortunately there aren't as many of them around as there used to be in Mahia. This is due to pests! So our big plan, with the Whangawehi Catchment group, is to eradicate these pests and reintroduce these little fellows.
Little Blue Penguins are a little bit lazy so yesterday we spent the day making them some houses, which they can conveniently move straight into. As well as constructing some houses, we also learnt all about penguins, and we even constructed some crafty penguins! (If you are in Wairoa anytime soon our Penguins will be on display on the main street. )
It was a very informative day and we all learnt a lot about the Little Blue Penguin, including they weigh the same as a 1 litre bottle of milk, they don't like sharing their houses, and they have very strong beaks which they use to crack open barnacles.
Thanks to those of you who came and enjoyed yourselves alongside us all!
