There’s a single beach on Saunders Island in the Falklands where it’s possible to see four different species of penguin — the Magellanic, macaroni, rockhopper and gentoo. Rockhoppers live together in a hillside colony, along with an occasional and rare (and most likely lost) macaroni trying to fit in as if hoping no one will notice. Magellanics are less social and live in single family burrows that can be found almost anywhere on the landscape surrounding the beach. The beach itself, is ruled by the gentoos. This gentoo seemed to be sounding some sort of alarm to anyone who would listen. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 240mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/1000th of a second
——- On this cold and windswept shore
——- It’s all in the family
——- When the Spheniscidae
——- Come to play
——- Yet a Gentoo’s vuvuzela
——- Could drive them all
——- Away .
