A Bunch of Birds in tight fitting Black and White Suits

    A shot from our recent trip to Chile.
    Some more Spheniscus magellanicus aka Magellanic Penguins from Magdalena ISland in the Strait of Magellan, Patagonia.

    This was taken on the same rainy day as these shots by Podge.
    If you look closely you can see the rain drops in the air.

    feel free to C&C

    They are precious.
    They are so animated and I love the way the guy in the far right is kind of flirting with you :D

    Delightful shot!

    But you said birds in tights…..!! Oh… err, I see…!

    Great shot, you can almost sense them talking to each other – especially the third one on. The first penguin looks a bit soft and I think the photo would look better if there’s a way to remove the first one..!

    PS: Just noticed this article in BBC News. The penguin looked familiar! :D

    I know the first one is a bit soft, but I got so attached to him, I couldn’t crop him out now! :oops:

    The image is linked to my flickr and if you follow the link you can read what they’re saying :wink:

    I have a shot of the penguin in question with his mates just before he set off.
