Stolen Penguin Found! (Maybe)

- Wed 21st Dec 2005


A  case of mistaken identity was in force today on the beach. Members of the public and HBC officials and the RSPB, were engaged in the brave attempt to rescue this wayward bird who was thought to be the stolen penguin called "Toga" from the IOW zoo, but in fact was a guillemot  disguising himself as a South African Jackass Penguin, in a reversal of the Wallace and Gromit caper.


The pictures show the action on the beach and a reminder of what could be.
