in the Falklands the population was very small - we only saw two in Port Stanley; in South Georgia however they numbered in absolute thousands we visited two King Penguin colonies and both had several thousand there including juveniles! this photo may help to paint the picture ![]() ![]() 2014-01-09 at 06-01-46 by JeDi58, on Flickr |

What a sight , David ..... so many places you'll return to one day ...... so many things to linger over which is not easy on a tight schedule You carried a huge amount of tech. equipment . What a nightmare it is these days when we go away . Not just a light weight tent but cameras , batteries and a charger . Phones , and a charger . LT/ipad etc , and a charger ...... drives you mad and you're over your weight before you've thought of a few bit of clothing
