The tentativeness of penguins can be an amusing thing to behold. Even in this shallow inlet, this gentoo penguin seemingly had to psych himself up before finally making the plunge. Photographed on Saunders Island in the Falkland Islands. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/1600th of a second.

I prefer my penguins more of the “Live Fast, Die Young, Become a Pile of Killer Whale Poop” variety.

No doubt. It was an endlessly entertaining two weeks that I spent in the Falkland Islands.
