Here are another 10 images from my recent Falklands trip. To all of you who provided nice comments on the first post, thank you. For some viewers there are a couple of shots here that might be a bit uncomfortable. You may be happy to know that with the shot of the skua with the penguin chick, the chick got away and survived. The two landscape shots are from "the Neck" on Saunders Island. The first provides a perspective of the Gentoo penguin colonies at the neck. I didn't count, but I believer there were at least ten of this colonies. The second is of the rockhopper colony on the hills overlooking the neck. If you look closely, you can see Gentoo penguins on the beach below and Black-Brown Albatross flying. It's quite a scene and the noise coming from the rockhopper colony is overwhelming!

For those interest in gear and traveling, I took two Sony A1 bodies, a 400mm f/2.8, a 200-600, a 70-200, and a 24-105 and 1.4 and 2x converters. Two of the guys brought their 600 primes, but IMO for the most part were overkill. My bag was quite manageable and fit well in the overhead compartments in all of the planes without issue.

Anyway, hope you enjoy.
