This rockhopper waddled right over to me as if he had a few questions before allowing me to photograph the colony. They certainly had the most attitude of the five species of penguin that I was fortunate to photograph in the Falkland Islands. This colony was on Saunders Island — the first of the four islands that I visited. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/400th of a second.
Sean U have a new friend , photo shows the face and all details so clear ,really can see what they look like more than just black & white

Thanks Aunt Sue. All good so far.
You must have been completely entertained by the show’s emcee at the Rockhopper Theatre. Mother Nature at her best!
More like, ‘You could of at least let me clean up before you press the shutter!’. 🙂
