Feeding time for the Penguins

At approximately 2pm each day the Penguins at Birdland are fed. Here, one of the parks staff accompanied by a member of the public hand feeds them fish. Gulls, hoping for a free meal, also descend on the area. The majority of the penguins are King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) although there are a small number of Humboldt Penguins (Spheniscus humboldti). Birdland is a zoological park for Aves in Bourton on the Water, Gloucestershire.
