Penguins, Parrots and Wine on Matiu / Somes Island

10,000 Birds

The island was first a Maori fortress to be retreated to from the mainland, then a camp for internees during the war and a quarantine station for people and livestock. They are to my mind the most attractive member of the cormorant family, unfortunately I don’t have a photo of sufficiently good quality to show here.
