Millie – the last Penguin to finish moulting

Millie is one of our eldest adult Penguins here at the park. She is the last in our colony to moult her feathers this year. Millie is a very cute and adorable penguin and is one of the smallest in our group. We have been feeding Millie lots of extra sprats this week to encourage her to finish moulting.
Here is a photo taken of her earlier, not looking her best I must say!

Soon she will have her stunning black and white beautiful feathers through, like Dippy who is looking rather dashing at the moment.
