Magellanic Penguin
Digging a burrow.
(22 Nov 2010)
The expedition staff expected to see all the penguins brooding eggs this time of year. They were surprised to seem some chicks had already hatched. They were also surprised to seem some apparent mating activity still going on.
Hard to see what is going on here. There is a second penguin inside the burrow kicking out dirt (that’s dirt in the air on the left-had side of the photo). Not sure if this is a burrow being prepared for egg-laying or if the eggs are already in place and this is maintenance.
