Taken today, we can see the band colors for Sir Nils (purple) and Connie (yellow). Sir Nils does some wing flapping before a couple of bachelor kings wander into the vicinity. They are told to keep moving by the expecting penguin parents.

Video taken last night, where it looks like our king penguin dad is saying, “I’m ready for egg duty!”

These eggs were laid last week, on the 24th and 27th of August, 2026.

There are lots of details on the nest and egg timeline in the video description

Hello penguin gang! We have another set of eggs and one is beginning to break open over at the second Napier Port livestream,

Keeping Up With The Korora - Camera 2

As the parent begins to sense the hatching, they become more restless and rotate the eggs more often. Over the next 8-12 hours, we will see more breakage as the tiny penguin works to emerge. Hopefully the partner returns soon after to deliver the chick’s first meal!

Here you can see a glimpse of the king penguin egg! I’m not exactly confident about which one of the penguins here is mother/father but I know that Sir Nils is the dad. If I remember correctly, it was determined that in the Edinburgh Zoo penguin exhibit system the ID band on the left flipper indicates female and ID band on the right flipper indicates male. So I think that mom is currently incubating the egg.

Miss 4 has been collecting penguins her whole life. My partner had a dream that penguins stole our baby before we knew I was pregnant so her dad bought her one the day she was born and she’s loved them ever since. She’s now 5 and counts them once a week and loves adding to her collection
