The awesome sight of the King Penguin rookery at St Andrews Bay is just sensory overload.
The main part of the King Penguin rookery
Flipper fights look bruising
Orderly queue returning to the zodiac
As the weather started to close in and thanks to Josh one of the Ornis guides, I managed to get on the last zodiac offering a coastal cruise past the rookery.
Brown Skua (Subantarctic Skua) Stercorarius [antarcticus] lonbergi
Antarctic Fur Seal, they look very cute (and are at this age and younger) but.....
Bandit country, the Antarctic Fur Seals always won, at least they thought they had. This couple survived.
Too close!
Lovely images John. As you have had so much time on your hands recently I'm guessing you have counted each individual King Penguin in the Rookery!!!
