Whatever it is it's no longer any good for us twitchers is it - it's in
the zoo.

Tim

The article says it followed the ferry.  Does that mean it is ship
assisted?

Seriously, the difficulty in identifying species is very interesting and
has inspired me do some reading.

Hi All,

Tom Fletcher's just email me to say that in today's Geelong Advertiser
there's a photo (page 3) of what he believes is a Fiordland Penguin. It
was picked up alive at Queenscliff and is now recovering at Melbourne
Zoo.

It's been tagged a Royal in the Geelong Advertiser, see
http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/article/2008/07/29/16619_news.html.
It looks like Fiordland to me - with the only other option (with black
face) a Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus). What do you think?

Cheers,

Tim Dolby
