Woolly jumpers for oiled penguins

The birds are at risk from oil slicks and the garments protect them from the cold as they re-oil their feathers.

Between them Mrs Whittington, 79, Mrs Evans, 84, Mrs Nichols, 76, who are all members of the St Helen's Church Group, have created almost 50 jumpers which will be sent to the Penguin Rescue Fund in Hampstead and then on to Tasmania.
