Penguins!











Unfortunately we didn't have really high magnification cameras on us so that we could zoom in, so once again you'll have to take our word for this! If you can zoom in on the image you'll see some cute little penguins coming in from the sea to feed their young at Nugget Point. This particularly variety was the yellow eyed penguin and apparently there are only 3000 breeding penguins of this type in the world.

I think it would be fair to say that neither Michelle or I are ever going to make bird watchers, but the sight of these penguins coming ashore and making their way up the bank was really something....we even went back for a second look the next evening. I think Michelle regretted that though as there was a gale blowing through the hide we were in and it was freezing!
