Fewer African Penguins now exist than were rehabilitated in the Treasure Spill on June 23, 2000, now facing climate change and lack of food. Without support to organizations like SANCCOB, the African Penguin risks becoming extinct in the wild in just 10 years.

#WaterbirdWednesday Puffins are pelagic seabirds, meaning they feed primarily by diving in the water to catch fish and other marine prey. They are also iconic and striking๐
Photo of Ruddy Kingfisher as part of the Waterbird Wednesday feature by International Bird Rescue.
Draped in fiery reds and deep coppers, the Ruddy Kingfisher looks like a bird painted by the ๐ sunset itself: Often heard before seen, this elusive beauty flashes its brilliant plumage as it darts through dense forests and mangroves. A rare sight, but an unforgettable one!

Photo of Malayan Night Heron
The Malayan Night Heron, also called the Malaysian Night Heron or Tiger Bittern, is a true standout with its chestnut-colored body, vibrant blue lore, and green-yellow eyes.
As nocturnal birds, they are most active at dusk, night, and early dawn. #WaterbirdWednesday
Photo of White-cheeked Pintail
#WaterbirdWednesday:
White-cheeked Pintail, also known as the Bahama Pintail, is easily recognized by its striking appearance, featuring white cheeks, a red spot at the base of its gray-blue bill, and beautifully patterned brown and cream feathers.
