Penguin Goes for a Swim - Eventually

OILED WILDLIFE RESPONSE CENTRE, 11/11/2011:

Photos by Richard Moore


While on a second visit to the Oiled Wildlife Response Centre in Tauranga I watched as a little blue penguin tentatively dived off a small platform into one of the swimming pools set up for them. It took the penguin about a minute to summon up the courage to leap into the inviting waters and join his mates in a bit of a swimming session.
