Antarctica 14 Penguin 4/5 Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua)

These were part of a small colony sitting stoically on their nests while it snowed.

Think of them as penguin tree changers without the trees of course….Their shift ends when their partners come back from fishing, then its off to the sea themselves for a good wash, so their feathers stay waterproof, and time for their fishing trip.

Lets face it not anthropomorphising penguins is impossible. Stoic, heroic, indomitable, ardent, loyal……
