Little blue penguin feed

Fairy Penguin Island, Weymouth Sea Life Centre, 11th October 2021.
Eudyptula minor novaehollandiae.
The public feeding time is 12.30 (it is mentioned on the website, but I didn't spot that before I arrived). Most of the penguins stayed in their indoor pool before the feed, and then crowded together in shady spots outside afterwards. They are given sprats and small herrings. I think the jug in the bucket contains fishes with a vitamin pill inside and the keeper tries to give one of them to each penguin - she keeps records as she goes along.
