Fairy Penguin

Fairy (or Little) penguins (Eudyptula minor) are not only the smallest of all penguins, the Greek word ‘Eudyptula’ means ‘good little diver’. This flightless seabird breeds in colonies along the southern coast of Australia, as far north as Port Stephens in the east to Fremantle in the west. Subspecies are also found in New Zealand.
