Hello, who are you?

Boy meets penguin, at the Ajubatus marine rescue centre.

Easter at Ajubatus

This morning we had breakfast at the Lighthouse. The little restaurant there has been set up to raise funds for the penguin rescue centre next door. Our grandson is enjoying reading the little booklet of laminated photos attached to the salt and pepper holder, with pictures of various seabirds that have been rescued here recently. Next to it is a tin for donations of coins, also to be used for penguin rescue. In the background behind the waitress, the sign on the blackboard reads Happy Easter from all at Ajubatus, and shows a penguin popping out of an egg.

Resident penguin

The resident penguin at Port St Francis is anything but cooperative when it comes to being photographed. It was extremely busy on Sunday afternoon, chasing fish and zipping though the water like a high speed submarine. These photos are the result of following this bird around for about an hour.
