The Peco Incident (2011)
“We hadn’t got home until eleven the night before, and I needed more than five hours sleep. Eventually, I dragged myself from bed, but only because this was a scheduled rest day and, after we’d checked the penguins, I could sleep all day if I wished.
Cathy’s car was not in the car park when we arrived on our bikes. There were no vehicles and no overnight campers. Even the rubbish bags had gone, which made the place a lot more pleasant than for our previous visit.
‘What shall we do?’ asked Nick. ‘Wait?’ ‘Yeah,’ I replied. ‘But let’s do it up in the hide. Maybe we’ll see some penguins leaving.’ I chose a shortcut to the slope where Brio’s hide had been built. It meant going across farmland, but the gate saying Private Property was open, so it was almost an invitation to enter.
There were rabbits everywhere, especially smaller ones. While the adults ran away, the juveniles preferred to duck down and hide. We got so close to some of them that we could have almost caught them.
