PENGUINS!
/Since resuming our tours after our little SA Lock Down, we have been seeing several Mother & Calf pairs over in the Whale Sanctuary area off Middleton Beach….
Recently, we have also seen a dozen or more penguins out on the water! - A “RAFT” of penguins
The Granite Island Penguin Colony is not overly large, being decimated in recent years by foxes and recent surveys of the more remote West Island has seen only a few active penguin burrows - Which means this raft of 12-15x Little Penguins seen on our recent tour were likely to have swum from Kangaroo Islands’ penguin colonies.
The area around the Murray Mouth is known to be a feeding ground for Little Penguins and they travel vast distances (for their size) to feed.
The Iphone video you can see, isn’t the greatest quality! However you can see a penguin….We absolutely love being out on the ocean, you never know what each day holds in store….
