Observation details
An amazing breeding colony with many chicks, many in creches. This was certainly our favorite of the penguins with their variety of expressions. Attempt to estimate number of birds, by counting groups of 100, then 1000 but fairly difficult given large numbers. Travel Dynamics said 100,000 pairs but we certainly did not see anywhere near that number. UPDATE 15 August 2015, checked BirdLife Data Zone, which says 14900 pairs were counted in 2008.
