Christmas at Deal Island

Our Tasmanian adventure has started! We left the Gippsland Lakes last Friday, bound for Deal Island. We are old hands at Bass Strait crossings, but sharing this part of the voyage with our friend Trevor is great fun as the whole experience is new to him.

Bird Photography Challenge #53: Little Penguin

Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) are the smallest of all penguin species and are endemic to Australia.  We have a soft spot for these flightless seabirds and see them often around the Bass Strait Islands. The Little Penguin is the very endearing subject of our 53rd Bird Photography Challenge.
