Hello friends and family The days are rolling into one long sequence of feeding penguins, fish, organising resources and medication. I gave a talk to the Oamaru tramping club on Monday night and delivered a load of cardboard to the Toptip on Wednesday. We had a week of wild seas and many of our chicks chose to fledge into it. The sand has been washed from the landings and is swirling in the coastal waters. We have had one chick return already! Vicki came and cleaned on Thursday – bless her! The Council sealed parts of Lighthouse Road on Thursday which will mean faster cars but less dust Sue and Merrin visited from Dunedin. This was a great chance to catch up on Malaria information and to discuss where to from here in terms of releasing penguins back into the mosquito environment. Paul, Jen and Olivia arrived on Thursday evening which was so wonderful. They have been fitting into the spaces not filled with penguin stuff ever since. I so enjoy having them here!
Have a great week! Rosalie |
