Due to the holiday and a mad, last minute attempt to stay up on homework, I've been absent from meh own blog. However, I have been taking snaps of those beautiful Gentoos. And so, here they are--a week in review:
The week began with penguins taking turns to go feed in the sea and fresh snow fell, making the scenery very lovely.
Although the sun was obscured, there was enough daylight left to see "community events."
What was so endearing about the snow, was RM's covering JC's body in order to share the warmth on the nest. They stayed huddled together for quite a long time that night.
But JC kept giving herself away... she knew that egg laying time was fast approaching and she didn't want to miss it.
So she constantly checked the nest.
And she checked....
And she checked....
And she checked.
One more time, just to be sure...
But it appeared to be a natural action, as the entire group began to check the ground for eggs.
Meanwhile, At King Edward's Point on South Georgia Island, some fur seals decided the shoreline suited them.
And so did an elephant seal...
No King penguins this week, but there was one lone Gentoo, accompanied by a seal and another bird (hmm... I think it's a tern).
And unless JC lays her eggs tonight, the week will end and our pengies will be hugging and peering into the nest, waiting, as we are so far away.
