The little penguins shown in the first four photos on this page are fairy penguins, also known as blue penguins. They are so named because their height is around 1 foot only their body is covered by slate-blue feathers. They originated from New Zealand and later migrated to South Australia. Many years ago I viewed them returning to their burrows in one evening at Philip Island, Australia. Although at that time I didn’t take any photo of them, recently I got a second chance while visiting the Blue Penguins exhibition at Birch Aquarium, which opened on July 12, 2022.
