Hello friends and family.
​

Beautiful with new feathers and all day to play.

​I hope you had an enjoyable break over Easter and have enjoyed it as much as I did. On Sunday we did some beach searches for stranded penguins, visited the Moeraki Boulders and ate chocolate. On Monday we went out fishing and saw beautiful Albatross, Antarctic petrels and Mollymawks.

​On Thursday my beach searches found another Yellow-eyed penguin chick that needs a helping hand. What with all of the coming and going in the hospital, we now have 7 penguins in care.

​Chris and Hiltrun came up on Friday afternoon and we hosted Trudy from the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust in Dunedin. She is a scientist wanting to save penguins as we do!

There is a touch of autumn in the air these days and I enjoyed my extra hour of sleep as daylight savings kicked in. For the first time this year, the car park was empty for more than an hour.
Have a great week!
