Fiordland Penguin (Subject to submission to NSW ORAC) UPDATE
Tathra Beach, New South Wales
Apparently on the 13th September 2013 (see Eremaea/Birdline NSW #198976), on the far south coast of NSW a man walking on Tathra Beach noticed a bedraggled penguin lying amongst the rocks on the shore line. He immediately called WIRES and the Fiordland Penguin came into care. It had been injured by either another marine creature or a propeller and has a wound on his chest which is now healing well (2nd October). [Moderator's note (NH): This is only the fifth in NSW record of this species and is subject to submission to NSW ORAC]
