Spent a lot of time watching the activities in the penguin colony here. It was fascinating to see so many nests in such close proximity to one another. The nests were made from pebbles, which the birds had collected and carefully positioned to for their homes.

Interesting thing was to watch as one penguin would leave its nest to get another pebble, another one would leave its nest to steal a pebble from that penguin’s nest. This, in turn, would prompt another penguin to leave its nest to steal a pebble from that penguin, who was stealing a pebble from that penguin, who was stealing a pebble…. I think you get the picture. It was a huge population of penguins, all stealing pebbles from each other. It was rather humorous.
