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.

Check out the livestream on YouTube here

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!

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.
