Penguins protected, say Waiheke marina developers © Getty The Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species of penguin.

Waiheke Native Bird Rescue general manager Karen Saunders said she received a call from an ecologist working for the Kennedy Point Marina development on Wednesday asking her to be on site to remove any penguins from the artificial seawall, before work commenced on Thursday.
