King Penguins....
On the South Georgia Islands is a place called Salisbury Plain. It's basically a beach that leads to a huge, grassy plain in front of snow-capped mountains. Incredibly scenic, it's one of the few places King Penguins form their breeding colonies. Not just one or two of the birds, around 120 000 of them...

Hi Sam
Amazing shots you have there. ;
I actually much prefer the 1st three shots. I don't think I've ever seen so many penguins in a single shot before, and I love the clarity of shot number 2.
Thanks for sharing

Grief what a lot of Penguins, not much chance of bumping into an ex.

Awesome.
That first picture reminds me of one of those 3D magic eye images.

Super shots Sam. I think my favourites are #2 and 3. #5 certainly would have been my 1st choice if not for the wee fellow in the background but still great shots.
but still great shots.

Amazing shots! I am so jealous. I htink penguins are fantastic. I watched a programme about them last year. I think it was in the same location that they were filming. Very interesting it was too. Such a hard life they lead.
I agree that they wouldn't look out of place on National Geographic.
