Penquin Island

Pelicans and their chicks
June 4,  2011

I'm determined to try to catch up with my blogging, been so long since I've written anything but I'll try to recreate stuff from my calendar.

Drove out to Penguin Island today, not far from Perth.  This is where the fairy penguins nest, they're also called "little penguins."  Just a small island with lots of nesting birds including gulls and pelicans.   As we were leaving on the ferry back to the mainland, a sea eagle swooped down and grabbed a pelican chick.
