  • Rockhopper Penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome) & Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) <br />
Steeple Jason Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
The Penguins return in early October to breed after their winter pelagic wandering. The males return about 10 days before the females. They nest in close-packed colonies on cliffs, often in association with Black-browed albatross and King Cormorants. They lay 2 eggs. The first egg is smaller and the chick is rarely reared to fledging. After the chicks fledge in April the colonies are once again deserted. They are the most abundant penguin species in the Falklands. They feed mostly on squid, Lobster Krill and fish.<br />
RANGE: Subantarctic Islands, Cape Horn, Ildefonso Island, Isla Morton, Isla Hornos and Southern Chile, Falkands and a few in South Georgia. Also Tristan de Cunha, Gough, St Paul and Amsterdam Islands, Prince Edward, Marion, Crozet, Kerguelen, Heard, Macquarie, Campbell, Antipodes and Auckland Islands.<br />
<br />
Black-browed Albatross return to the same nest annually. The nest is a a solid pillar up to 50cm high of mud and guano with some grass and seaweed incorporated. A single egg is laid in October and juveniles fledge between mid March and April. They have a circumpolar range betweeen 65 S and 20 south and breed on Subantarctic Islands, Including South Georgia and islands off southern South America. In the Falklands they are also found on Beauchene, Saunders, West Point and New Island.<br />
The Jasons (Grand, Elephant and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length. <br />
THIS ISLAND HAS THE LARGEST BLACK-BROWED COLONY IN THE WORLD WITH 100,000+ PAIRS. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) Falklands Conservation have an ongoing research project with the Albatross on Steeple Jason.<br />

Punta Cevallos, Española Island, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
ENDEMIC TO GALAPAGOS. <br />
CRITICALLY ENDANGERED<br />
However a few pairs nest on Isla de la Plata near the Ecuadorian mainland. +-12,000 pairs breed on the Island of Española in Galapagos. They only come ashore between April and December to breed, otherwise they spend their entire life at sea. Once an albatross chick fledges and goes to sea it will remain there until it is 4 years old before returning to land to breed for the first time. Albatross mate for life and live about 40 years. They form part of the family of tube-nosed birds.

However a few pairs nest on Isla de la Plata near the Ecuadorian mainland. +-12,000 pairs breed on the Island of Española in Galapagos. They only come ashore between April and December to breed, otherwise they spend their entire life at sea. Once an albatross chick fledges and goes to sea it will remain there until it is 4 years old before returning to land to breed for the first time. Albatross mate for life and live about 40 years. They form part of the family of tube-nosed birds.
