Day One - Matthew in Phillip Island

On Sunday night we took fish and chips down to share them with our penguin friends (just joking - everyone knows that penguins don't like the batter on fish).   The seagulls flocked around eating every scrap of the muffins that the Japanese tourists were throwing  to them - very naughty.   They are terrible Muriel.   We waited and waited and waited and finally they came - 784 of them - little penguins aka fairy penguins in our books.  So cute with bellies full of fish.   When we were watching on the boardwalk , suddenly a big boomer jumped under us and vanished into the bush.   

When walking back to the car park the ranger on duty  had just pushed a little penguin off the road  - he was apparently making a nuisance of himself.  We had to check under our car for furry creatures - there were none - but nobody expected one to run out in front of our car when we were driving out.  Daddy missed him by a whisker - phew!!
