Ah, Penguins
Going back to 2005, A Mexican newspaper reported that bored Royal Air Force pilots stationed on the Falkland Islands devised what they considered a marvellous new game.
Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by airplanes, the pilots search out a beach where the birds are gathered and fly slowly along it at the water's edge. Perhaps ten thousand penguins turn their heads in unison watching the planes go by, and when the pilots turnaround and fly back, the birds turn their heads in the opposite direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis match.
Then, the paper reported, "The pilots fly out to sea and directly to the penguin colony and over fly it. Heads go up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins fall over gently onto their backs."
Later reports by the RAF denied any penguins were hurt in the making of the story.
I had a quick look earlier, but they all wandered off.!!
Tried to have a look this morning. In Scotland it must still be dark at 09:29 as my screen is just black. :sad:

Mine too.
Maybe a penguin passed out over the camera?
The site may well have crashed, as there was a report on the internet, that the Zoo had loads of people watching this cam world wide and it is a major hit.
How about some butterflies?!
:thumbup:
How calming it was to watch for five minutes. I loved them speeding through the water
