Phillip Island: A home to little blue penguins | WIDE

One and a half-hour away from Melbourne lies the Phillip Island reserve. It is home to a colony of adorable little penguins, also called little blue penguins because of the indigo hues of their feathers.
A whole network of wooden bridges has been built throughout the place to avoid disturbing the penguins in their natural habitat. Visitors can therefore observe the animals without disturbing them. Every year, 500 000 curious and nature-lovers come to marvel at the penguin parade.
From the film: “A world of colors - Australia in blue”
Director: Philippe Moreau
Production: ZED & Voyage

I was disgusted when we visited, despite my camera not having a flash, I was told I could not take pics of the penguins. Hundreds of other visitors were busy snapping away with their phones...many of them using their flashes.

Wow he just grabs it like nothing.

I'm inclined to think that the penguins would do well if they were left alone. Humans do far too much damage to the environment.
