On a cloudy day in Milford Sound, even without the dramatic apocalyptic feel, there are still plenty of delightful surprises waiting to be discovered. You might encounter:
️ The Fiordland Crested Penguin (P6) – one of New Zealand’s rarest and most enchanting penguins. These charming creatures add a touch of magic to the already stunning landscape.
️ The Kea (P78) – the world’s only alpine parrot, known for its playful and mischievous nature. This super cute bird is notorious for its curiosity and will chew on just about anything, including car tires. It’s a true character of the mountains!
️ The New Zealand Fur Seal (P10) – these sleek and graceful animals love to bask in the sun, often found lounging on the rocky shores. Their relaxed demeanor and adorable antics make them a joy to watch.
I had no idea about the Fiordland Crested Penguin before reading this! It sounds like spotting these little guys would make the whole experience even more magical. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the Kea too—sounds like an unforgettable encounter!
