Please ensure you put it back at the same location and take a little bit of time to ensure that the wire and container are out of sight.
Following the lose of the hides in June 2015 where the original Yellow Eyed Penguin cache was placed I have created a new cache and placed it in an easier spot to find (and maintain).
The Yellow-eyed Penguin is a penguin native to New Zealand. 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- like the one you’ll end up near. Typically they come in around 3pm at Otago, just remember as well as a chance of seeing penguins you’ll also have higher numbers of muggles to avoid. This species of penguin is endangered, with an estimated population of 4,000. It is considered one of the world's rarest and possibly the world’s oldest living penguin species. The main threats include habitat degradation and introduced predators.
A few words of caution, especially for tourists – from the car park you’ll need to allow about 45 minutes to reach old hide spot to watch the penguins come in. The beach and sand dunes are home to Sea Lions, please take time to read the warning notices at the lookout before descending the tall sand dune to the beach (this can be a hard climb back up, so make sure you are prepared).
Remember to respect the wildlife – this is their home any you are there as a visiting guest.
