After noticing the penguin patrollers were making notes on our behaviour last week, I have decided to make some notes on human behaviour for myself. (Click the link to read more)

I spent most of my day watching people and this is what I observed:

8am: Keepers arrive with our fish breakfast; then rake and clean our beach.

10am: Penguin patroller Kim arrives, she just watches us, well me really. Visitors start to arrive and they watch me too.

10.30am: Keepers bring some more fish. The presenter gives a talk to the people who have been watching me, mainly about me.

11am: People take pictures of me, while Kim talks to them.

12.20pm: Derek who looks after our water came to check everything was ok.

1pm: More visitors take pictures of me.

2.30pm: Fish time and another talk about me, lots of people come and take more photos of me.

3pm: Kim the patroller is still watching me, taking notes and talking to people about me.

3.30pm: The keepers and other staff keep coming and hugging Kim and saying, “Good luck”. I wonder what that is all about?

3.45pm: More fish.

4pm: Still watching me.

4.15pm: Kim looks really sad. I know she hates not seeing me everyday.

4.30pm: Kim leaves for the day.

The same seems to happen everyday so I don’t think I’ll spend any more time writing it down. I need to spend most of my time preening to keep my feathers at their best for the photos!

I’ll write soon,
Love Ping x
