  • 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 />

  • South American Fur Seal or Falkland Islands Fur Seal (Arctocephalus australis australis) BULL<br />
A sub-species of South American Fur Seal. The males are about 3 times larger than the females. The females are also slimmer and generally lighter in colour. They breed in about 10 sites in the islands, mainly in nw and sw and usually on rocky slopes with deep water approaches. They form large colonies of 1000 - 3000. The breeding season begins in early November when the adult males establish territories. The females then arrive a few days before giving birth to one pup. They feed in groups at sea on Lobster Krill, squid and fish. <br />

West Point Island. Off of West Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
Usually quite tame and very curious towards man. Rarely take prey on the wing using instead its ability to run and grasp penguin chicks and eggs and small petrels with its powerful feet and claws. Also feed on insects, molluscs and carrion. Can survive during critical winter periods on excreta of Gentoo penguins and fur seals.  They nest on cliff edges, under large rock slabs or on the top of a tussock grass clump, often close to the seabird colonies on which they prey.<br />
RANGE: Falkland Islands where it is largely restricted to offshore tussock islands like Jason Island group, Beauchene and Sea Lion Island, Islets of Cape Horn and some islands off the south west coast of Chile as far north as Isla Tarlton.<br />
NEAR THREATENED due to small population and restricted range.<br />
Less than 1000 birds exist.
