Boulders Beach Penguins (second visit)

Walked down to the beach to see the penguins again. Sunny day but very windy. The penguins didn't seem to mind the cool breeze.

Lots of penguins on the beach, but also in their burrows on the hills overlooking the beach. The penguins readily accept manmade/manufactured burrows.
The African Penguins make a braying sound, similar to a donkey's "Hee Haw!" In fact, the African Penguin was once called the Jackass Penguin until they realized that some other penguin species (in South America) make similar sounds.

  1. There is no place like home, even for the penguins of Boulders Beach. Very surprised that they accept something not found in nature for their homes. Cute little guys!
