It appears that some older and more experienced penguins have tuned into the environmental cues of a productive ocean and are attempting an autumn breeding.
We now have eggs in a few burrows!

As a citizen scientist photographing whale tails, Peter Fogarty spends his free days at the bouncy front end of Wildlife Coast Cruises’ ferries, in bitterly freezing temperatures, patiently waiting for a fluke.

On July 6, 10.30am – 11.15am at Berninneit he will explain to every wannabe whale photographer or citizen scientist the art and skill of photographing whales, particularly their tails, or flukes, which are like individual fingerprints.

On average, through the whale season, he travels with Wildlife Coast Cruises about twice a week on trips up to four hours, off Cape Woolamai or around Seal Rocks, with the citizen science photography roster formalised last year.

“Photographing Whales is no Fluke” – Peter Fogarty.
Saturday July 6, 10.30am at Berninneit Theatre. Included in Festival Experience, but seats subject to theatre capacity.

It is the whale watching season. From late May to September, the waters around Phillip Island become a highway for humpback and and southern right whales. I am ready to spot them this year! I was not lucky in 2023. I had my camera and a pai of binoculars ready, I was looking for spouts, big splashes, and flocks of birds or dolphins.
So this year I am diving into the whimsical waters of Phillip Island, where the whiles are not the only ones having a whale of a time!🐋🐳🦭.
So, do not forget to book my Airbnb as after the Penguin Parade at sunset, in the morning everything can be about whales parade!. Welcome to Phillip Island, where the wildlife is wild and the laughts are plenty. Keep your camera handy, because you never know when you'll get that perfect shot of a whale telling a joke to a penguin.

In a meantime let's dip in cold water!

Today was a day well spent at the Churchill Island Farmer’s Market, a monthly celebration of local produce and craftsmanship held against the backdrop of Phillip Island’s stunning scenery. The market was bustling with energy, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for a day of exploration and discovery.
With only walnuts in shells on my mind, I set out early, but the market had other plans for me.

I ended up bringing home much more! Of course, I got my walnuts, but that was just the beginning. I was tempted by the rich variety of cheeses and chose three kinds to savor. The scent of sourdough beckoned, and I couldn’t resist a loaf of this staple. A cask of golden, locally produced olive oil made its way into my basket. And 4 cans of beer for my husband!

The joy of supporting our lovely farmers left me with a good feeling, knowing that each item was grown and crafted with care.

The only downside to my day was that I had to leave my puppy Goldie at home, as dogs are not allowed on Churchill Island. However, this small hiccup didn’t dampen my spirits.

For those looking to experience the charm of Phillip Island, I extend an invitation to stay at my Airbnb in Smiths Beach, a mere 15 minutes from the market. It’s a place where you can relax, enjoy the beautiful beaches, and continue to support our local farmers. Plus, it’s dog-friendly, so your furry friends can join in on the adventure.

Today’s market visit was a reminder of the simple pleasures in life and the importance of community. I hope to share this experience with you soon.

Remember those cute penguin chicks a few weeks ago?! A recent check from our research team has shown how their feathers have changed, from a silky dark feather to total grey fluff! Talk about winter layering 😉 These two are around four weeks old and have grown by around 700-800g each.
Until approximately two weeks of age, the parents of Little Penguins take turns staying with their chicks, feeding them regurgitated food caught at sea. At around this age, the chicks are left on their own while their parents continue bringing food back, returning as often as possible to feed them.
They have about four more weeks left of being fed by their parents before fledging and making their way into the ocean to find their own fishy meals. To see the magic of these little wonders buy your tickets to the Penguin Parade here https://bit.ly/3RvCvgd

The Little Penguin is the only penguin in the world to have blue feathers… 🐧🐧 but occasionally these fascinating animals lack pigment in their feathers. Despite what you may think, this isn’t an albino penguin, they are leucistic! This shows up as white patches where we usually would expect blue feathers.
You might be lucky enough to spot one of these unique penguins at the Penguin Parade, as there a few that live on the Summerland Peninsula. Get your tickets to see the magic of Little Penguins coming ashore at sunset here: https://bit.ly/3RvCvgd

Our guests at Ocean Escape Guest Suite are currently looking at the changes behind the fence.
Yes! The Permaculture Project is becoming more visible. The very high metal raised garden beds have found a new home in someone else’s garden. They were too overwhelming for this small
space. Now the space looks like an excavation site, but only for a while. By the time the next guests arrive, the area will be levelled and ready to host four new garden beds according to the
plan. While our guests enjoy watching little penguins or huge whales, we are working hard to prepare the soil for the future crops. At the moment, we are on the hunt for manure so that the worms, bacteria and fungi in the soil of the new garden beds will work hard through the winter and be ready for nice crops in the spring and summer.
