Geocache Description:

A new flock of birds has been released on the porthills. All realtively straightforward to find, but some navigational/ routefinding skills will be handy. And watch out for Mountainbikes! Due to forests in the area cord's could be +/- 10m approx, so clues are pretty specific


A small container. This cache is named after the Hoiho, the Yellow Eyed Pengiun. Please make sure the cache is snug and well covered

The yellow-eyed penguin (Megadyptes antipodes) or hoiho is a penguin native to New Zealand. Previously thought closely related to the little penguin (Eudyptula minor), molecular research has shown it more closely related to penguins of the genus Eudyptes. Like most other penguins, it is mainly piscivorous.

The species breeds around the South Island of New Zealand, as well as Stewart, Auckland, and Campbell Islands. Colonies on the Otago Peninsula are a popular tourist venue, where visitors may closely observe penguins from hides, trenches, or tunnels.
