The little penguin (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species of penguin. It grows to an average of 33 cm (13 in) in height and 43 cm (17 in) in length. It is also known as the Fairy Penguin in Australia
In 1956 the rock breakwater was built for the Olympic Games and has since become home for a thriving colony of Little (Fairy) Penguins. The colony of Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) have been the subject of a study since 1986.
This is not a managed park although there are Earthcare of St Kilda Inc. volunteers who will manage crowds and answer questions. The volunteers were an excellent source of information and helpful.
The penguins return to the breakwater at night and are sensitive to white light so there is no flash allowed. There is very limited ambient lighting but the penguins don't "see" red light and the volunteers use red torches to highlight the penguins which just allows you to get some autofocus working.
Quite challenging for me and the first tie I have ever ventured into the really high ISO and combined it with my 50mm f1.8.
There are quite a few in the trash bin but this is one of the better ones. Worth it all to see these fellas in the wild.
Penguins Rock!
The Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team released three rehabilitated turtles that were hooked by recreational fishermen. The Stranding Response Team released the turtles along the shore behind Neptune’s Park at 31st Street. This year’s naming theme for rehab patients at the Aquarium is “heroes and villains.” The sex of each young turtle is yet to be determined.
Ursula, a Kemp’s ridley which is the most endangered turtle species, was hooked at Virginia Beach Fishing Pier June 7. She had several lacerations, a healing rear flipper wound and corneal ulcers. Ursula was also undernourished.
Voldemort, another Kemp’s ridley turtle, is best known for his second hooking and rehab stay at the Aquarium’s Marine Animal Care Center. He was superficially hooked with a J hook baited with squid by a fisherman on the Buckroe Fishing Pier July 2. He quickly recovered from that injury, was released and then was hooked again three days later but this time at Naval Station Norfolk. This hook required surgery as it was lodged in his esophagus.
Green Goblin, the only green sea turtle among the group, was found on the bank of Owls Creek July 5. He was hooked through his right upper and lower eyelids with a J hook which was easily removed by the team. They also discovered a plastron (shell) fracture which has now stabilized.
The Stranding Response Team urges anyone who sees a hooked turtle to call the 24-hour hotline 757 385-7575. While you wait for assistance, do not pull a turtle up on the line which causes further injury but scoop it with a net. Then keep the turtle shaded and wet. Most of all, do not fish if you see turtles nearby.

You really can pick up the nuances of flavor in individual beans (christmas limas, mother stallards, and flageolets) by dressing them simply.
In this case it was a vinaigrette made with a tablespoon of hot/sweet yellow mustard, a splash of olive oil and pinot noir vinegar, salt, pepper, berbere, the smear of the garlic clove I cooked with the beans, and enough of the bean cooking liquid to keep it loose.
The beans were tossed with the vinaigrette, 3-4 shallots sliced fine, a few planks off an orange bell pepper, also sliced fine, the carrot I cooked with the beans (chopped), and a little parsley.
The amalgam is almost smoky/porky though there is nothing derived from any critter in this.
The idea was to get the flags to show in such a way as to show their reason for being on the flagpole. had to get the wind to blow just right to make it work.

Outside Green Park station, the New Bus's three doors are well-used. Once the bus is in squadron service, it can run in one-man or two-man mode. When there's no conductor the rear door will be locked out and the bus will operate just like its off-the-shelf cousins, like the Wrightbus Gemini standing behind it.
