If there is one name that has been and keeps popping up when it comes to foraging research in penguins, it’s Klemens Pütz. His penguin work brought him to all the interesting yet far flung places in the Southern Ocean and the subantarctic region. There are few King penguins, Magellanic penguins and Rockhoppers that haven’t had contact with Klemens who is the master of attached data recording and transmitting devices. It is truly remarkable that it took him almost 30 years to finally work on New Zealand penguins. A driving force behind many of our initiatives, he continues to play a pivotal role in expanding the reach and capability of the Tawaki Project. Obviously, Klemens is an endless source of penguin related anecdotes so field work is never a dull moment with him.
