There has been a lot going on at penguin beach over the last week. There have been lots of people and lots of noise, but what have they been doing? (click the title to read more.)
Last week we had a group of people digging our beach and turning the sand over. We had great fun running over the soft sand when they stopped for their tea break.
What a busy week we have had! Lots of visitors have been coming in to see me and take my picture and keep the penguin patrollers busy with lots of questions, so I thought that since I was a penguin expert I would answer some of these questions for you. (Click the title to read more)
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.
I am used to lots of people coming to Penguin Beach just to look at me, and being so handsome I also pose for lots of photographs. But now they are taking notes on what we are doing! (Click the title to read more)

Happy New Year! There have been lots of parties going on this year already at Penguin Beach, mainly in the Macaroni area.(Click the link to read more.)
I asked Pat, the oldest penguin, what it was all about. She said that so far this year seven of the Macaroni penguins have had their eighteenth birthdays, two of them were on the 11th January.
This year, Christmas at Living Coasts is going to be extra cool because Santa is coming and you can meet him and then me and my friends too! (Click title to read more!)
Head to penguin beach these days and you will see a flurry of feathers swirling around a host of scruffy looking penguins; that’s because half the penguins here are losing feathers very quickly! (Click here to read more.)
Don’t panic though, because all penguins have to go through this process once a year, and we like to call it moulting (Actually that is what the scientists named it).
