Hi everyone,
 I have recently been researching accommodation on King Island and in  
my journey I came across a website for some holiday houses on  
Naracoopa Beach. The website has a slideshow and amongst the various  
images up pops this one titled "A lonely penguin". See link

I'm assuming the foto was taken on Naracoopa Beach.
Am I imagining things or is that an Adelie Penguin?!?
 From what I can gather there have only been 2 accepted Australian  
records away from breeding localities; one Port Davey and one from  
Fortescue Bay, both in southern Tassie. It's also listed as a  
vagrant to Maquarie Is.
 A good example of one flying under the radar (not literally of  
course)!
