day two-hundred-and-twenty-three - little penguin

or eudyptula minor if you're feelin' fancy. i sure am!

if, on the other hand, you're feelin' schmancy you can call him a fairy penguin, like us australians (us-tralians) do

they really are little - the littlest of all penguins in fact. oh oh! they're also quite blue when not babies.

the real thing looks so cute by the way - please take a look

i do enjoy watercolouring but i would like for my shading to be more subtle. also my paint-writing definitely needs work.
