Three days ago I was enjoying the beautiful sunshine here on the English Riviera. Two days ago I was basking in the heat on our beach. Yesterday I was thinking “whoa, this is ace!” Now today, I am very wet.
When I woke up this morning I wondered why there were so many members of staff hanging around on our beach so early, but then I heard a soft peep peep peeping sound which could only mean one thing - a baby had been born! (Click the title to read more.)
Easter is nearly here and I am really looking forward to it because there is so much going on here, in fact I am thinking of staging a breakout from the beach so that I can get involved in all the activities, that's if I can get away from the penguin patroller! (Click the title to read more)
If it wasn't bad enough sharing our beach with 6 Macaroni penguins, we now have to share it with 20! (Click on the title title to read more)
Yes indeed, a few weeks ago the rest of the noisy Macaroni penguins who used to live on the other side of the zoo were moved onto our beach and are taking over, with no respect for us!
It's been snowing on Penguin Beach here at Living Coasts. Not masses of snow, but a little, and definitely enough to provide us with hours of fun!
We have been following the news with interest, and the weather reports with excitement, but there isn't enough snow for our liking! I suppose the climate of Torquay does not lend itself to having much snow.

Happy New Year everybody! I can't believe that the festive period has gone so quickly, I'm sorry I didn't write but not only was there Christmas and New Year, it was also my birthday! (Click the title to read more.)
Christmas is getting closer and we penguins got to meet Father Christmas the other day, he came to Living Coasts with toys for the boys and girls who come to visit us. He also dropped in to see us penguins on the beach, brought us a present of fish and had his picture taken with us. Lucky man, I think that made his year! (Click the link to read more)
I call the class to attention, your penguin lesson is about to begin. Following on from our polar bear discussion, today's blog will focus on flying, or lack of it.
I would like to introduce you all to Jane, who is one of our security guards. I know her real title is 'Penguin Patroller', but she does the job of a security guard, making sure we are all safe and well during the day when Living Coasts lets the public in.
