I went out to the Peninsula beaches and followed Amelie around as she used the radio transmitter to find the female sea lions that she had tagged. It was difficult to find them as they hide very well but with the aid of the transmitters, we found Leonie with her pup.  I took some footage of Amelie doing her work and are hoping to have it on the blog site very soon.

Andrew and I went to visit Ruby the sea lion whom has been in the news lately. She is from the Subantarctic Islands and is not related to Mum. All the other female sea lions around the Otago area are descendents from Mum. So it would be interesting to see if Ruby decides to start breeding here. Ruby initially spent several weeks in Oamaru and is now using Kettle Park, Dunedin as her place to rest. As sea lions are social animals it is thought that she likes to be around the passers by and people playing sports at Kettle Park. There has been a fence errected for her so that she stays in the bush area and does not go onto the park itself. When we were there filming several people and dogs walked by as she slept and looked up occassionally at the passersby.

I have put together a short film of Ruby please check out it below.
