Feisty penguin Bandit undergoes dicey but life-saving surgery to remove a fish hook from his stomach. Peanut has a chest infection, Nipper has been bitten by a dog, and the penguin patrol has a busy morning relocating birds from dangerous spots in town.

A penguin is rushed in suffering from a suspected shark attack, the first eggs of the season start to hatch, little Bruiser has been attacked by a seal and is taking too long to shed his feathers, and it's touch and go whether two abandoned chicks will survive.
