Rescued

The photo of little penguins was shot in the International Antarctic Center in Christchurch, New Zealand, which only houses rescued penguins suffering

from physical disabilities. The little penguin (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species of penguin, and is found along the coastlines of southern Australia and New Zealand. It grows to an average of 33 cm in height. In New Zealand, they are more commonly known as little blue penguins or blue penguins due to their bluish plumage. They are also known by their Māori name 'kororā'.

The beautiful accompanying note makes this nice photo better appreciated, ciao Giangiorgio

Remarkable picture and your explanation, Sandor! It seems that these penguins share their impressions of some events. Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Grazie Giangiorgio per il tuo bel commento, ciao Sandor

Thank you, Tatiana, for the appreciative note. All these birds have suffered disabling physical injuries, so they indeed may find understanding companies in each other. Kind regards, Sandor

Looks like they are trying to decide where to go to lunch, Sandor. The one in the center really has the "stare" down pat. Great job of capturing this group of birds. Best regards, Paul.

Thank you, Paul, for viewing. Best,- Sandor
