Wellington penguin colony loses 82 chicks to starvation
Thirty-five per cent of little blue penguins born on the Matiu/Somes Island have died of starvation after an otherwise successful breeding season.
During a fortnightly survey of the colony in mid-November, the Wellington Harbour Penguin Study team discovered 66 dead chicks – 54 of them in one day.
Their death has been attributed to silt and the water temperature in the harbour, which resulted in a lack of fish.
