25. We were there in February!

My wife and I visited the Royal Albatross Center on the Otago Peninsula last February. We were very fortunate that they were extremely active that day, soaring back and forth. We stayed late into the night to watch the blue penguins come ashore as well. We weren't going to leave New Zealand without crossing these birds off our bucket list.

FYI, the albatross pictured here have a nine foot wingspan.
