Edinburgh Zoo’s gentoo penguins have been given painted pebbles to celebrate the start of penguin breeding season. 

The pebbles were decorated by children being supported by Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity (ECHC) as part of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) weekly interactive sessions at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People.
