King penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) mating ritual Volunteer Point, Falkland Islands
It was a dramatic day at Volunteer Point, with storm clouds and sun performing a dappled dance. As I lay belly down on the beach, this king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) couple approached, checked me out, and then started a long series of courtship steps. They paid no attention to me, allowing me to capture this dramatic image. Volunteer Point, Falkland Islands
