What's all that noise?

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.

Ask Ping!

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)

Moulting Madness

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).
