Feathers? We all have them, says the little pied cormorant. After I preen and dry them, I'm very proud to show them off.

There are so many beautiful photos here this week

Do Penguins have feathers?

Many people wonder if penguins have fur or feathers. Penguins are birds and therefore have feathers. Penguin feathers are very short and compact giving the appearance of fur. Penguins can have 100 feathers per square inch! These special attributes give them a smooth coat allowing them to swim faster and protecting them from freezing water. To learn more about penguins, check out this link: www.seaworld.org

I only spotted two on Sunday at Phillip Island. It was too cold and windy, they were hiding at the back of those boxes.Only one ,way up on a hill ,showed it's sleepy face.

great photo for crap conditions rawshorty ...i would be definatley pleased with that, and I know these little scrubwrens don't stay still for long. You mentioned earlier you have not been into bird photgraphy long, niether have I. I started with macros of bugs and nature and for my 40th i got a zoom point and shoot camera so always being a bird lover I had an oppotuntity to capture them as well ...and well what can i say ...there is NO stopping now ....birds are obsessively addictive.
