Moulting Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica)

I took this shot on the beach in Gold Harbour, South Georgia. In amongst the thousands of King Penguins, and numerous seals, was this solitary Chinstrap. He was moulting and looking very sorry for himself. I do think these are one of the most aptly named birds I have come across.
