In the afternoon we embarked on another short zodiac trip to Port Charcot home to three varieties of penguin.
CHINSTRAP PENGUINS
WELCOME BACK
FEED ME PLEASE
GET OFF MY LAND
ADELE PENGUINS were the least numerous
Gentoos were still making a racket,note the backward sloping hooks in the bill for grasping fish.
FUR SEALS
PALE FACED SHEATHBILL
The sheathbills clean up any dropped food so perform an important function in keeping things clean and tidy
ON THE MARCH.
THIS WAY TO THE ZODIACS SIR.
BRUSH ICE was closing in and it was difficult for the zodiacs to reach the landing point,but everyone got back safely.
PLANCIUS
After dinner we were treated to a glorious antartic sunset.
Stunning photos again Phil.. The one of the two Gentoo's walking away from the camera reminded me of you and Eric at Morecambe sea front on our Cumbria trip ha ha!! Bring me sunshine indeed!!
