When you're feeling a p p p peckish

Some yellow eyed penguins come ashore

a seal playing in the surf

....p p p pick up a penguin (sorry for anyone reading this outside the UK.....penguins are chocolate biscuits).
On Saturday Alison and Justin, took us out to Sandfly Bay on the Otago peninsula. It was a wee bit of a twisty drive to the place (which made Debo feel a bit sick), but we got to this beach, covered with sand dunes. There was a few people on the beach and also a seal diving about the water. We went along to the hide at the far end of the beach, and waited. There were a few up on the hill, but the penguins are meant to come back to the beach at dusk, so we waited .... and waited....and waited.
Eventually we decided that we weren't going to see any more, and decided to walk back. As we walked along the beach, these 3 cheeky chappies swam ashore and waddled to their nests.
That made the trip worthwhile.....ace
(Didn't see any chocolate biscuits though)

Very March if the Penguins. Did any of the cheeky chaps dance like in Happy Feet? Or just waddle? That would have been a sight.
Don't suppose you kept one as a pet either? Just askin'
