Thanks,
These guys are the rarest penguin in the world and are a joy to watch coming in early evening. They will walk by your feet if you are still enough.

Thanks I love the little splash too. Watching these guys come home is an amazing experience. We sat for a few hours watching and waiting.
They remind me of old men walking home from work at the end of the day to the family. Some seem like they might have stopped at the pub on the way for a few ales as they stumble along...:)

Thanks,

I would love to give you the grand tour but work probably won't allow the time. However if you want to PM me with your planned destinations I could help with some suggested places to visit. If you have no plans they I could suggest some options. Feel free to PM me and I'll get back to you

Regards
Steven
