I went down the beach this afternoon because I saw a couple of immature Pacific Gulls when I was driving home earlier. They'd gone, but there were a couple of Willie Wagtails catching insects on the shore. This one hopped up onto the rocks of the groyne. I also found a dead Fairy Penguin - the smallest of all penguins. It was in beautiful condition, but must have come to grief in the storms we've been experiencing. I checked it for a leg band, but discovered when I got home that they are wing tagged. I might go back tomorrow and if it's still there, will check to see if it has a tag. So sad to see.
