Macaroni Penguins at Cooper Bay, South Georgia Island

Macaroni Penguins at Cooper Bay, South Georgia Island

The macaroni penguin is a close relative to the rockhopper penguin. The visible difference is that the macaroni's yellow crests meet in the centre of their forehead. We saw very few of these penguins as they only nest at the top of high cliffs, yet they are actually the most numerous species of penguin in the world.
