Was that a penguin I saw?

Share

You don’t see penguins on the main road. Or do you? Boulders Beach in Simonstown is home to a colony of African penguins.  But Simonstown Main Road is not home to a colony of African penguins. So, this morning  I was surprised to cycle past the golf course and see two penguins wondering down the side of the road.

 

As soon as they say me they ducked into the bushes, so this is all I managed to shoot with my happy-snappy (no I don’t take my SLR when I cycle). While they look really cute, they don’t smell all that great…

Simonstown is a little village in Cape Town, It also has the honour of being home to the South African navy. Just look at the vista.
