On Macquarie Island in the Australian Sub-Antarctic, the Gentoo Penguin have a much lower profile than the massive King and Royal Penguin colonies. The Gentoo seem to be shy and don’t congregate in huge colonies here. They also seem to have been relegated to the far-side of the island where life is much quieter. I was very lucky to spend some time with a mum and her chick, from a respectful distance, of course.
