You certainly have had an interesting time! The Honey Eaters are beautiful. I am glad the release is going fairly well. If you had eleven out of twelve make it that is very good. I hope they breed and bring the numbers back up.
Everyone loves penguins. The Little penguins are cute and cubby before they molt. That is quite a project. It is too bad that there were so many complications. It would have been great if you could have collected all the data you wanted, but any data at all is useful. Your summer experiences tell me that behind every animal study there is probably an interesting story. When you work with animals things seldom go exactly as planned. After all the animals didn't read the plan or agree to it.
I hope the changing climate patterns are not too hard on the penguin populations, but I fear they will have a hard time.
