  Good observation, Karincat. These are #Macaroni penguins, a species of crested penguins similar to and a bit larger than the #Rockhoppers we more often see in these images.

  Last season we counted Rockhoppers on a cliff edge rookery, where we saw grass tussocks like these and also saw two visiting Macaronis.

  Hey gardenmaeve - do you think we might have a visiting rockhopper here? 😄

  I think they were the Magellanics? Wasn't it Candy who was the Macaroni - and Jacques too? 😃

  Waldo and Wanda were called that because of the "glasses" markings around their eyes
