A great
outcome for this young penguin.

Perched
on the rocks looking very sad and sorry for herself she was luckily picked up
by the Port Kembla lifeguards who rang us immediately (thanks fellas).
Rehydrated
and ‘tucked’ in for the night we were off to the vet the next morning where it
was confirmed she had an infection and only weighed 636grms.
She was
placed on antibiotics for a week and daily big feeds of fish. 15 days later and a healthy 1.12 kg she was
happily released and took off at speed across the sand and dived into the
surf. Thanks to vet Mike Cannon she’ll
now have a happy life . Amazing little
birds – it is always a pleasure to see them on their way.
