Joining in with #BIRDTOBER2025. With my dear fine feathered friend @artyreg77 …. Heard the song “Joy to the World “ and this image popped into my head. Thought it was a great idea for a #bandedpenguin . Happy Friday Everyone! 🥳🎉… #penguins #kidlit #kidlitart #birdtober

Black fineliner drawing of a Magellanic Banded Penguin (also known as the Jackass Penguin for its call) facing the viewer and looking to its left, on a white background.

It's October and you know what that means - Birdtober! Day 1 is the Banded Penguin.
