Watery Wednesday

Photos were taken last January when we visited Featherdale Wildlife Park, west of Sydney. They are called Little Penguins, Fairy Penguins, Little Blue Penguins or just Blue Penguins. They are one of my favourite animals in FWP. At the time of our visit, they were happily swimming in the pond in their enclosure.

The Little Penguin ((Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species of penguin. The penguin, which usually grows to between 30 and 33 cm tall (12 to 13 inches), is found on the coastlines of Southern Australia and New Zealand, with possible records from Chile. (wikipedia)
