Yellow-eyed penguin Buster at Penguin Place on the Otago Peninsula yesterday. Buster, a Dunedin yellow-eyed penguin, is on the mend after another predator attack and is bulking up in a bid to return to the wild. Buster was taken to the rehabilitation centre at Penguin Place at Harington Point last Friday with six other yellow-eyed penguins in need of fattening up. Dr Argilla had discharged 24 yellow-eyed penguins, about 5% of the population, to the private conservation reserve in the past six weeks. ''One of the main problems we face is infection from wounds,'' Dr Argilla said.
