Beach walker

Here on the Moeraki peninsula in North Otago, New Zealand, we have the largest Yellow-eyed penguin colony on the South Island. We have identified 74 penguins that live here at the lighthouse which includes 25 breeding pairs. For this species, this is a big number - making this a super special place. 
We also get a lot of people coming here wanting to see penguins. A lot of people i.e. thousands and thousands every year - because it is free. So there is a fence to keep people from bothering the penguins. Most people stay on their side of the fence, after there is a sign saying 'keep out - endangered wildlife'. But there is always someone who believes this does not apply to them, so they climb the fence. After all there is no one there to police it and so there are no consequences. Here is one such person caught on our spy-camera. He is on a stretch of beach used by many, many penguins. There a number of moulting penguins usually hanging out near this camera - all gone. They probably ran away and hid somewhere. 
There will be no consequences for this man - but he is walking where he should not and he is scaring penguins. Shame on you.

The beach is very popular with the penguins with many, many coming ashore and hanging out.

This is not long ago and we have recorded a number of penguins moulting in the immediate vicinity of this camera. This person has no business on the beach - and the penguins will have had to run and hide somewhere - afterall they can't swim away, they are moulting and not waterproof.
