Gentoo Penguins
The Gentoo penguins are common on the Falkland Islands. They breed in colonies which are often far from the beach, and during the day lines of penguins go to and from the ocean. They use stones to build their nests and can be seen stealing stones from each other. They are monogamous breeders, and infidelity is punished by banishment from the colony. I was fortunate to spend time observing and photographing the Gentoo penguins in the Falkland Islands. Photo DSC_6420
