  • King Penguin Colony (Aptenodytes p. patagonica).<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.

  • Gentoo Penguins (Pygoscelis papua) <br />
Steeple Jason Island. View looking east to west. 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.<br />
<br />
The Jasons (Grand 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 Albatross colony in the world with 113,000. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society)

  • Rockhopper Penguin (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 />

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 />
