After the snow had finished
the penguins stood up and shook themselves, the chicks that had been
sheltering under the parents were well and seem to be resenting the fact
that mum or dad had stood up and weren't keeping them quite so snug any
more!
This parent is
awaiting the return of its partner who will have been out at sea fishing
for the krill that these penguins feed almost exclusively on, catching
it further inshore than other penguin species. The parent that goes
fishing fills themselves up on food and then collects extra in their
stomach to bring back and regurgitate for the chicks.
