Granite Island & the Little Penguins

Ae stopped at Victor Harbor on our way back to Adelaide from Kangaroo Island. We had one mission .... to see the Little Penguins (a.k.a. Fairy Penguins) at Granite Island!



The Little Penguins are the smallest penguins. They come ashore at dusk every day to feed their chicks and sleep in their burrows. Light (including camera flash) temporarily blinds them. So, I stole the following photos from somebody else's website .

As one can imagine, we were overjoyed by the chance to observe the Little Penguins!
