Bruny Island Penguin Rookery

In my other post, I mentioned that you will drive past a Penguin Rookery which is well signed.

P is for Penguin

Penguins start coming ashore after dark.  Your lodge will tell you when to go as it varies at different times of the year.IMG_7653

They have excellent information about the Little Penguins as you enter the Rookery.  Entry is free and they have strict rules against flash photography.  I did the best I could while someone used a red lamp to highlight a penguin.  There was no moon and it was really dark.  We brought blankets from Captain Cook’s as it was pretty cold even in Autumn!IMG_7656 IMG_7657 IMG_7658

Sorry, this was the best I could do with no light!IMG_7654aSince I couldn’t get a good shot, this one from Wikipedia will have to do.
