'Lost' penguin found in Portsmouth - 6,000 miles from home
A 'lost' penguin has apparently been filmed in Portsmouth, 6,000 miles from its home in the south Atlantic, according to a Sun exclusive.
The Sun says: 'One theory is it was separated from its group and followed a food trail through the Atlantic to the Solent.'
Joanne Gordon, 35, of Aldershot, Hants, is said to have filmed the penguin at Southsea and the footage is now being examined by experts.

Earthquake in English Channel - Worthing, West Sussex, shaken and stirred
An earthquake hit the English Channel yesterday, according to the British Geological Survey.
The quake, at magnitude 3.9, was the largest such event to shake the area since a magnitude 4.5 in 1734. It was located about 53 miles (85km) south east of Portsmouth, Hampshire, at a depth of about 6 miles (10km).
Several people in Worthing, West Sussex, reported the quake, which lasted only a few seconds.
Historically, the UK gets an earthquake of this magnitude about once every two years. A 3.6-magnitude quake struck 9km (5.5 miles) north-west of Ripon, North Yorkshire, in January this year.
