After we checked in to Cowes Holiday Unit in Philip Island we hurried to the renowned penguine parade at Summerland beach
Took the 1st picture before entering the park. No picture is allowed beyond this pointThe following photos are obtained from website. Thanks to those who contributed these photos
At dusk, fairy penguins return to shore. Fairy penguin is the smallest penguin in the world
The penguins moved in group. If one penguin in the group got frightened and moved back to the sea, all the others follow suit. They can go back and forth a few times before moving to their burrows. It's a very cute scene.
Slowly, they moved back to their burrow.
The baby penguin looks bigger than the adult penguin as their fur are very fluffy. A ranger told us that the baby penguin can't recognise their parents. They "attack" any adult penguin they came across for food. The adult penguin recognise their baby and bring food to their babies.
It was freezing cold. I wore my down jacket
