Live webcam is located on the beach of a colony of young penguins in the city of Oamaru (New Zealand).

The smallest penguins in the world can be observed in real time. Also, thanks to this online broadcast, you can see fur seals who love to relax here.
Oamaru is the largest city on the South Island of New Zealand. It is here, on the shore of a sandy beach, that the habitat of small penguins is located. On the website, you can watch the life of the smallest species of these birds in real time.

The little or blue penguin is the smallest representative of all penguins living on the planet.

The people of Oamaru consider it their symbol. Experts watched them for a long time and found that they are the most energetic and agile among all the representatives of these birds. Plus they are very noisy. Penguins make many different sounds, from soft snorts to loud invocations.
The top of the head and back are blue and the inner surface is white. Their head is small, and their dark brown beak is 5 cm long. The eyes are also very small and have a brown or bluish tint.
On average, in natural conditions, this bird lives for 6-7 years. Moreover, in captivity, with proper care, he can live three times more. They, like other penguins, have thick plumage, and they are protected from the cold by an oil layer and subcutaneous fat.

The birds live on the beaches, which can be seen on the Oakland webcam, because it makes it easier for them to find food and hunt marine life.

They live on land, but swim and feed only in the body of water. Moreover, they spend most of their time in the water. They return to their nests, which they usually build in thickets or under stones, after sunset.
The blue penguin feeds on small fish, molluscs, crayfish, oysters, plankton, octopuses. They can submerge in water to a depth of about 2 m and, on average, stay there for up to 30 seconds.
The animal has good eyesight, which makes it easy to navigate in depth. Their streamlined body, fins and webbing on the limbs allow them to reach speeds of up to 5 km / h. They usually hunt in packs.
Birds live permanently in one place. When they occupy a territory, they spend almost their entire life on it. If they sense danger, they form groups and start making loud noises or clapping their flippers. So they warn that they are ready to defend themselves.
Now the population of these animals is not threatened. Moreover, if the coastline is polluted with debris, the ability to reproduce is reduced.

On the site, using webcams in real time, you can watch a colony of little penguins.
