Technically not my best photographic effort, but this one has amusement value. On certain of the Falkland Islands, the domestic sheep seemed to be as common as the penguins. This Magellanic penguin appeared to have something to get off his chest and was bending the ear of whoever would listen. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 360mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/2000th of a second.
So both Sheep and Penguins claim the territory as their own? I hope this doesn’t lead to any sort of armed conflict over the Falkland Islands. #80sJoke
This is one of those that I wish I paid more attention to when I was there. I was more often than not trying to make sure no sheep were ruining my images of penguins.

I like it, Sean!
This falls in the category of: you just can’t make this stuff up!! Not sure who won the argument, but thanks for the chuckle this morning!
