a fleeting visitor

 

 

Di McEwen found a fairy penguin stranded on the reef at Cape Douglas where it was being hassled by a hawk and protected by two seagulls. She picked it up and found it seemingly unharmed and quite plump - probably full of tommy ruffs.
 

We rang Natural Resources South East and were advised to return it to where it was found as it may have a burrow near there that no-one knows about.

So Di did this and reports that it was last seen swimming strongly out to sea in the direct of Port Mac.

 

Fairy penguin left Di a memento on her shirt!
