Kororā and other cool things.

It’s kororā breeding season on Rakino, and there is evidence of many burrows around the coastline. Some of them are in areas where people and dogs frequent also, so Waiheke Local Board have generously funded signage as a reminder to be aware of of little blue penguin presence. These can be found in 5 hotspots for penguin activity on Rakino, Woody Bay, Home Bay, and Māori Garden Bay. There are also many burrows uphill from the coast, on private property, so please ensure dogs are kept under control at all times, as per the Rakino dog rules.

Aside from all the kororā activity, there are some cool critters in the rock pools, which seem to be flourishing right now.
