An adult penguin preening a juvenile

​Hello friends and family
Once again Monday and Tuesday were fine and clear, only this week it was very soft underfoot and the spontaneous streams were still running on Tuesday afternoon, it was not until Wednesday afternoon that the ground started to dry out in places.

Yes, for a time, with the road closures, the car park was empty.

​The rain returned on Thursday but was only 6 mm.

Warm winter colour

Yesterday, Chris, Hiltrun and I attempted to mitigate the damage done by last week’s storm.
We repaired and re-located 3 nest boxes which involved a lot of digging, slipping and sliding and decision making about how to go forward. Where possible, we let the penguins decide!
Have a great week
Rosalie
