When living on a hill side

When you own a house on a hillside and you are planning a family, it's good to have a decent verandah so the kids don't fall down the hill....
This yellow-eyed penguin pair has chosen a house on a steep hillside and overtime the front had worn away - not a problem for the parents, but once they have excitable chicks that dance about after meals, there is the danger they fall down and into the bushes and can't get back up. So we have built them a verandah with a wee barrier that hopefully will keep the chicks safe. Now all they have to do it lay eggs!!!
