Die Stony Point Pikkewynkolonie is geleë buite Bettiesbaai in Suid-Afrika.

Al is Bettiesbaai baie gewild onder toeriste, is Stony Point meer rustig, want nie baie vakansiegangers reis buite Bettiesbaai en al die pad uit na Stony Point toe nie. Dit is sowat 'n uur se ry van daar af.

Die area bied 'n landelike atmosfeer met plankpaaie wat gebou is oor die skiereiland en besoekers toelaat om die pikkewyne waar te neem.

Ongeveer 3,600 Afrika-pikkewyne woon by die ou walvisstasie in Stony Point en dit merk 'n bevolkingsontploffing van die enigste twee pikkewyne wat daar was in 1982.

In net vier jaar, het die enkele nes opgeskiet in 40 neste.

Die ontluikende pikkewyn-bevolking het geblyk om 'n uiterste ergernis te wees vir die plaaslike mense, want hulle is oorval deur pikkewyne in die verlede toe 'n heining gebreek het, soos in 2012.

Nadat die heining gebreek het, het die kolonie se bewoners uitgestroom uit hul aangewese gebied en die omliggende tuine, wat deur plaaslike grondeienaars besit word, opgekommandeer.

Die inwoners van die gebied is gewalgd deur die stank en die vere wat orals heen gewaai het.

Die pikkewyne is ook geneig im baie lawaaierig te wees en hou hul bure snags uit die slaap met hul donkie-agtige gebalk.

Sedertdien het amptenare 'n nuwe omheining gebou om die pikkewyne binne die kolonie te hou.

Bewaarders het ook sommige van die pikkewyne verskuif deur mensgemaakte pikkewynhuise en neste te gebruik.

Ten spyte van hul dramatiese tiename in getalle die afgelope paar jaar, word die pikkewyne by die Stony Point Pikkewynkolonie beskou as bedreigd.

Daarom gaan bewaringspogings daar voort.

Omtrent 1.4 miljoen Afrika-pikkewyne het gelewe in 1910, maar teen die einde van die 1900's, het net 10 persent van hulle oorgebly.

The Stony Point Penguin Colony is located outside of Betty's Bay in South Africa.

Although Betty's Bay is very popular with tourists, Stony Point is more tranquil, as not many vacationers travel outside Betty's Bay and all the way out to Stony Point, which is about an hour's drive away.

The area offers a pastoral atmosphere with boardwalks built across the peninsula which allow visitors to observe the penguins.

Approximately 3,600 African penguins reside at the old whaling station in Stony Point, marking a population explosion from the only two penguins that were there in 1982.

In only four years, the single nest had mushroomed into 40 nests.

The burgeoning penguin population has proven to be an extreme nuisance for the locals, as they have been inundated by penguins in the past when a fence has broken, like in 2012.

After the fence broke, the colony's denizens poured out of their designated area and commandeered the surrounding gardens owned by local landowners.

The area's residents were repulsed by the fetor and the feathers that flew everywhere.

The penguins also tend to be very loud, keeping their neighbors from being able to sleep at night with their donkey-like braying.

Since then, officials built a new enclosure to keep the penguins inside the colony.

Conservationists also relocated some of the penguins using manmade penguin houses and nests.

Despite their dramatic increase in numbers in recent years, the penguins at the Stony Point Penguin Colony are considered to be endangered.

As a result, conservation efforts continue there.

About 1.4 million African penguins were alive in 1910, but by the end of the 1900s, just ten percent of them remained.
