just socializing in their glorious new feathers
​Hello friends and family
On Sunday I was pleased to welcome my niece, Astrud with her family, who visited in the morning and then shouted me dinner at the Tavern in the evening. It was an early start on Monday as I went down to pick up Cousin Daniel from the plane at 9 am. He is a tech whizz and with his help I was able to get a new TV decoder and a hands-free unit for the car. He also brought with him a music keyboard and the logos for the car.

​Tuesday was monitoring day. We released 2 penguins and picked up our first returned chick who weighed in at only 4.2 Kg. He seems quite bright and very hungry – the blood tests will tell the full story. The weather was glorious.

​Thursday was a repeat of lovely weather and Dan and I spent the afternoon watching a pod of 100+ dolphins make their way slowly north. At 4 pm the southerly front arrived, and the wind came up and the temperatures dropped. We got 10 mm of rain overnight so will stay green for a bit longer.
​Friday was town day and Hiltrun came up on Saturday. We released another penguin so are now down to only 3 in care. It was another glorious day, and the dolphins were back, but further out past the reef. Dave called in with a feed of fresh Blue Cod. Yum.
