Young African Penguin chicks in transit wait to be released for the first time into the sea off Robben Island near Cape Town, South Africa. Orphaned by their parents who went into moulting & could not provide food for their young as they had lost their waterproofing; the young chicks are hand reared by staff & volunteers at the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) before being released.
