IT IS Penguin Awareness Day tomorrow (January 20) and Birdland in Bourton-on-the-Water will be marking the special day.

Keepers will be holding a special quiz and there will be a competition to enter to be in with a chance to feed the penguins.

Visitors can also watch keepers feed the two species of penguins their nutritious fish breakfast and lunch at 11am and 2.30pm every day. 

Head Keeper Alistair Keen said: “Penguin Awareness Day is a great opportunity for the keepers at Birdland to demonstrate what amazing creatures King Penguins and Humboldts are.

"Visitors can learn interesting and little-known facts about the colony at Penguin Shore as well as experience life as a penguin keeper!

“At Birdland we are part of the EEP, European Endangered Species Programmes, and I sit on the King Penguin Committee.

"We are committed to increasing the numbers and health of the endangered avian species.”

Birdland is open daily from 10am. Admission is £9.95 for adults and £6.96 for children.
