January Penguin Count

At their last Middle Island Little Penguin count on January 14, Warrnambool Coastcare / Landcare Group volunteers recorded 42 penguins coming ashore after dusk. This drop in the number of dusk arrivals (compared to 80 at the count beforehand) is associated with the fledgling of chicks which no longer need to be fed by their parents. A big thank you to all who attended. If you would like to be placed on the Middle Island Little Penguin Monitoring mailing list or attend a count, please email kristieking14@yahoo.com.au.
