Crowded Beach (Aptenodytes patagonicus)

Some of you will have seen the landscape of the sunrise over Gold Harbour that I posted yesterday. This shot shows what the beach looks like when you get onto it. There are supposedly 25,000 breeding pairs of King Penguins on the beach, and I can well believe it. If only we could add the smell and sound onto BF!

Super shot Sluggy, I wouldn't want to do any sunbathing on that beach mate, a bit too overcrowded for me.

I'm not sure what brings up more jealousy, the superb shot, or the fact that you were on South Georgia! Spectacular! Outstanding! :clap:
