@gardenmaeve-I think there's a white penguin in front of the bldg near door. No black head/flippers like others. It could be dim light tho.

It's facing the wrong way too, so back/side not visible.

Is it the one above the red spot (see below) please Edyflwr?
If only it were just a bit closer.

Where the head should be there is another penguin's tail. The head seems to be flexed right backwards, but the wings do look pale 😕

Yes, that is the one. It reminds me of the other one. I can't tell if head is flexed, but it seems pale compared to others.

Never hurts to ask. We all want to be sure. 😃 Remember- leucistic birds vary in colour pattern from one to another. Not rare with Gentoos- but fun.

Yeah, it is less rare in Gentoos but the frequency is still only about 1:20.000 by this paper.

Anyway, don't give it up! If there is one I'm sure we find it! 😃

I wonder how long it takes us to mark 20,000 penguins? 😕
