Penguin Island is only a 5 minute ferry trip away from Rockingham.
The shy nature of
these birds makes them difficult to spot during daylight hours. We were able to
see 11 of them that have been raised in captivity on the Discovery Centre. So
cute!
The island is also
home to another 15 species of birds including cormorants, darters, terns, fairy
terns, noddies, silver gulls, oystercatchers, ruddy turnstones, bar tailed
godwit, Artic Skua, little eagles, ospreys, sea eagles and a large breeding
colony of Australian pelicans.
These were thousands
of seagulls, who would get really annoyed if you got anywhere near their nests
(which were often just next to the walkway). Mean seagulls!
