RE: The Marion Island South African research team goes round island
Wow, there are just so many penguins. I have been to Prince Phillip Island in Australia, to see the penguins but the penguins there are so few compared to your photo.
And that's just one of the colonies! They can breed in peace here because there are no invasive species any more (I wrote about that in one of my earlier posts) and very few humans are allowed on the island. I'm interested to learn more about Prince Phillip Island. It's not easy for us to look things up here since our internet is throttled and even a Google search is hard. Is it a nature reserve? A research centre? What kind of penguins are there? By the way, South Africa also has colonies of African penguins which are much easier to see than these in Boulders, Cape Town and Betty's Bay, so if you ever visit South Africa you'll be able to see breeding colonies there no problem.
