My trip to the Falkland Islands coincided with the breeding season for the rockhopper penguins. Both parents tend to the eggs (usually two) for the first week or so, after which the males go out to sea to fish, returning two to four weeks later. In this photo, a breeding pair is still in the shared duty phase, which happens in November. Nikon D810 with Sigma 15mm fisheye lens, ISO 400, f/8 at 1/1250th of a second.
