    Was doing a 3-day trek in NZ, the 2nd hut was on the coast and there was a beach nearby so I took a stroll and there they were playing in the waves a few metres off-shore, two or three of them. Could tell what they were from their pretty distinctive dorsal fins.

    Spotted a Kiwi (Stewart Island) and some Whio (The Milford track) on couple of different occasions too :)
