A TWO-MINUTE video of the club’s penguin nesting box project was screened by its creator, past president Rick Dawson, at the last week’s Palm Beach Rotary Club meeting. It has been made in the hope that it will be shown at the WA Rotary's Combined District Conference in March.

Rotary WA decided run a Two-Minute Project Competition to showcase club activities. All competition videos are to be posted on their clubs' Facebook pages and the winner will get $500 for charity. Six of the club videos will be shown at the conference.
But flightless fairy/little penguins are not the only birds helped by the Rotary Club of Palm Beach. Its members' installation of 200-plus artificial nesting hollows for WA's iconic Carnaby's cockatoos has been such an outstanding success that the club have been thanked in a scientific research paper, Rick said. "There have been a 300 per cent increase in nesting with these hollows at Coomallo," Rick said. The hollows have to be serviced every year and the resultant continuing observation has demonstrated very clearly that size does matter.
