The Little Penguins
Here are a few movies of hundreds of Little Penguins as they return from spending the day fishing at sea. (photo of a Little Penguin taken at sea).
Otago New Zealand
These tiny penguins have to climb over a bunch of large rocks and then climb up a huge hill to get their burrows where they spend the night. So they must have amazing endurance.

Phillip Island, Australia
A place to view the penguins on a nice, sandy beach is as Phillip Island, Australia.

The Noisy Penguin
Perhaps the Little Penguin should be called the Noisy Penguin. Here are some of the sounds that they make. There is nothing to see in these movies as I made them in total darkness just to record their calls. Listen!

Go Visit Them
If you are planning a trip to Australia or New Zealand, I highly recommend that you include a visit to a Little Penguin colony in your itinerary. These amazing birds are fantastic to see and well worth the time and effort on your part.
