Our late summer and autumn so far has been quite warm and we had rain as well so that the grass is growing madly and it all looks more like spring than going into winter. This sponsored box was occupied by a moulting male and we introduced him to a young lady that we released from rehab. Initially they ended up about 10m apart but then were caught them hanging out in the box together - if you look carefully you can spot a second bird in front of the obvious one. We have now tarted up this box a little by mowing the long grass and there has been some sign that penguins is hanging out in the area. We hope they have found love and will bless us with eggs and chicks next season. We shall see. For now the box has been discovered!
