Blue Penguin Colony

A gift from Jason, an evening viewing of the penguins coming home for the night. Apparently these little penguins hunt all day on their own in the ocean and then regroup in the bay and come in in rafts (10+). Generally this colony sees between 80-100 blue penguins come in during this 75 minute viewing.

Something happened this day and the penguins came in one or two at a time, and only 34 in the whole time we were watching. The guides suggested something may have scared the penguins so they were all separated, or a predator got them.

A lot of people complained because there weren't enough penguins, seemingly unbothered by the fact that they may have been killed or injured during the day.Les mer
