Gentoo Penguin (Falkland Islands)

[Glenn Bartley]

I just got back from an incredible trip to South Georgia and the Falklands. I'll have lots to share here and on Facebook in the weeks ahead. This one jumped out (pardon the pun) at me to post first :-)

All the best everyone!

I've seen a lot of penguin shots, including Gentoos, but this one beats all the rest!
Fantastic, Glenn!

I look forward to more from your adventure.

In 2010, the Falkland Islands held the largest breeding population of Gentoo penguins in the world, with an FC census recording 121,500 breeding pairs. Numbers in the Falkland Islands do fluctuate, but have averaged about 100,000 pairs over the last 75 years. Gentoo penguins are resident in the Islands throughout the year and distributed all around the coastline.
