Little penguin Little penguins are the smallest penguin, growing to around 40-45cm in height. They inhabit in the temperate marine waters around part of Australia and New Zealand a nd build their nests in sand dunes or at the base of a cliff. They prefer to nest on islands where they get together and have noisy parties at night during the breeding season. There is a shoal a few kilometres off the coast near my family’s shack on Yorke Peninsula. It boasts a red and white striped lighthouse and two rarely inhabited houses. Back in the day, we used to take the boat out to the island for a day trip. Largely human-free, the beaches flocked with breeding birds including hundreds of what we then called fairy penguins. They were as magical as fairies to my curious young mind and it was always one of my favourite days of the summer. Show more
