What a beautiful way to celebrate World Penguin Day!
Thank you to our dedicated volunteers and to the scientists and researchers who make it possible for us to see so many interesting penguins species.

Greetings on this World Penguin Day! Fantastic, remarkable work indeed from all Penguin Watch volunteers - including Moderators 😃.
Just for fun, I found a little poll that opened today on favourite penguin species in Antarctica that everyone can vote on 😃.

Absolutely I say a big thank you to all out scientists too! 😃 😃 😃
Wow - that's a tough vote - so hard to decide. I liked all the candidates, and they gave great speeches to get my support. I won't say who I voted for because I don't want to skew the vote 😃
