  • King Penguins (Aptenodytes p. patagonica). Adult with day old chick on its feet.<br />
Volunteer Point, Johnson's Harbour, East Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
RANGE: Circumpolar, breeding on Subantarctic Islands. Extensive colonies found in South Georgia, Marion, Crozet, Kerguelen and Macquarie Islands. The Falklands represent its most northerly range. They are highly gregarious which probably accounts for it common association with colonies of Gentoo Penguins.<br />
King Penguins are the largest and most colourful penguins found in the Falklands. They have a unique breeding cycle. The incubation of one egg lasts for 54-55 days and chick rearing 11-12 months. As the complete cycle takes more than one year a pair will generally only breed twice in three years.

  • Waved Albatross (Phoebastria irrorata) Chick being harrassed by Nazca boobies, (formerly Masked booby) (Sula granti)<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.

Volunteer Point, Johnson's Harbour, East Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
RANGE: Juan Fernandez Island in Pacific, Islands along coast of Southern Chile to islands off Cape Horn, South Atlantic coast of Argentina up to Valdez Peninsula and Falkland Islands.<br />
These penguins are migrants and breed in the Falklands. They are fairly widely distributed in the Falklands. They nest in burrows beneath tussock pedestals. Breeding begins mid October. Incubation is 38-41 days and young are fully moulted by late January. Adults will vacate the site after their moult in March. They feed extensively on schooling fish and squid.

Volunteer Point, Johnson's Harbour, East Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
RANGE: Circumpolar in Subantarctic regions.<br />
These penguins are resident and breed in the Falklands. They are fairly widely distributed and form compact breeding colonies of 300-500 pairs. The breeding sites are usually situated on low, open coastal heath or grassland and usually 100's of meters inland. Some populations use same site annually while others progress inland selecting new sites each year which is why some colonies are up to 5 km inland. Breeding begins in late September when colonies are established. A clutch of 2 eggs is laid in mid October. Incubation is 33-34 days and young are fully moulted by late January and enter sea by early February. They feed extensively on Lobster Krill. Schooling fish and squid are also taken.

Harpy eagle was named by early South American explorers after the predatory half-woman, half-bird monster in Greek mythology.  Their hind talons are as large as a grizzly bear's claws. An adult female weighs up to 9kgs (20Lbs) with a 7' wing span.  They are the most powerful eagle in the world.  This was the first harpy eagle nest to be photographed in Ecuador.

  • Flightless Cormorant (Phalacrocorax harrisi) on nest with chicks<br />
Isabela Island. Western Isles of Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
These are the largest of the world's 29 cormorant species and the only one that has lost the power of flight. They live very locally to the shores of Isabela and Fernandina Islands and although they can not fly still retain vestigial wings which help them to balance when jumping from rock to rock. As they do not produce much oil to waterproof their wings they must dry out their wings when they return to shore. Nests are constructed of seaweed, flotsam and jetsam and are never more than a few meters from shore. Usually up to 3 eggs are layed.<br />

ECUADOR.  South America<br />
They are intermediate between the blue-footed and red-footed booby. They are also plunge-divers but feed further afield than the blue-foots in the inter-island area. They have fewer large colonies but are widespread throughout the archipelago. Sexes are simular and like the blue-foots, nest on the ground. Usually their nests are near cliff edges. Although they lay 2 eggs they only ever raise one chick. The healthier chick pushed the other out of the guano ring - representing the nest. The parents ignore the battle known as 'obligate sibling murder' and leave the chick to its fate.

  • Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome)<br />
West Point Island. Off of West Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
They 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.

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.
