Of the five species of penguin I photographed in the Falklands, I only saw a few of these macaroni penguins. They were always mixed in with the rockhoppers in the rockhopper colonies — no doubt lost, but also able to fit in with the very similar looking rockhoppers. In this photo, only the two closest to camera are macaroni penguins. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 25mm) ISO 800 f/5.6 at 1/160th of a second.
