Stranding #3

Punta Tombo view map

This one is for the interested.. it gives an overview of the scenery and the impressive arrival of the penguins from Brasil, where they are in winter. They usually arrive in small groups of 4-6 at the same time and are exhausted at arrival. They rest and do some sunbathing before going up to find themselves a great nest to impress a nice female. The Females arrive some weeks later!
