Not much going on here. Just a gentoo penguin giving me the stare down — probably wondering what I was doing lying face down on the beach. This photo was taken at the Neck on Saunders Island in the Falklands. The Neck is an amazing place — a sandy isthmus connecting two mounds of land. All five penguin species that are typically found in the Falklands, including the seldom seen macaroni penguin, can be seen in this one spot.

I totally agree with Michael’s comment about the little guy in the background. Of all your penguin pics, I don’t think we’ve seen then macaroni penguin. I would love to see that.

I was thinking the SAME thing Michael Collins!!! Hysterical.
No doubt, Mr. Collins.
This is an award winner, Sean, and I like both creatures pictured in the image. So very well done.
Thanks Sue. As a few people mentioned, that guy in the background really does look like he’s heading home with his lunchbox.
