Weekly Penguin

Weekly Penguin 289

Just yesterday this one dropped via mail, straight from Tasmania. Not-so-surprisingly the postcard features the most awesome local tourist attraction, the Little/Fairy/Blue Penguins returning from sea in dawn. As you might already know, Little Penguins are mostly nocturnal and due to their small size and general vulnerability on land, they always leave to and return from the sea in the cover of darkness and in masses. What results is an epic portrayal of cuteness and toughness, hundreds of flightless birds waddling en route to their nests in a hurry.

This postcard was published by Visit Gallery and is based on – and special thanks to Barbara Frost for sending it my way!
