A royal penguin, somewhat worse for the wear, was found stranded on a New Zealand beach after going on a 1000-mile holiday by mistake. [AP]

      That was a Partridge, not a penguin.

    reminds me of the lone penguin in ‘Encounters at the End of the Earth’ that always makes me get choked up.

    I’ve been on a bender like that. 1000 miles is a long walk of shame.

    Is it just coincidence that these birds have been turning up since trawlers have been operating in Antarctic waters south of NZ? Or are they victims of “by-catch”, tossed overboard on the homeward journey?
