Baby little penguin moulting by pusspup

Baby little penguin moulting

Phillip Is Victoria is renowned for its penguin parade. We didn't hang around for that, but it was lovely to see that nesting boxes had been set up on the hillside not far from the walk way and you could see into them.
They used to be called Fairy Penguins, but apparently that's not PC any more!
It's great down there, and wonderful to see the penguins in their homes! fav

Sweet. I was told recently that moulting is an itchy process for the penguins.

How lovely to see them in their natural habitat, At first , due to the moulting , I did not recognise it as a penguin !

Cute capture. We rarely get to see our penguins. They are much more timid and wary of people than those on Phillip Island.

Fabulous capture of this little one but it does take a bit of studying to make it out.

Aren't they gorgeous. They were always called fairy penguins when we lived in Victoria. The world has gone mad. People are so precious these days.
I am sounding line a whinging pom, but you can't call me that anymore either. ha ha.

@onewing I miss 'fairy penguins' too!
@haskar we were a bit of a distance away, this is heavily cropped. But I think they're very used to people here.
@kvphoto yes I agree. Always fairy penguins when I grew up. I guess the world moves on.
