Picture of the Month

 

Rockhopper surfing
 

 

Rockhopper Penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome)  riding big surf, Falkland islands

 

 

I know that birds aren't supposed to be having fun, especially such hard-working, no-nonsense creatures as penguins. 

But as large waves  pounded the coast of the Falklands, returning Rockhoppers seemed all too happy to take

advantage of the surge to get in a little surfing.

Don't forget that I am leading just one photographic trip in 2007, to Madagascar.  For more information look here.
