Macquarie Island 1968: An odd couple

Macquarie Island 1968: An odd couple
From an old slide taken with a Minolta SR1 and 55/1.4 lens. For several years, an Erect-crested penguin (on the right) had been nesting on the island with a slightly-related Royal penguin (their eggs were sterile). But unlike the Royal, the Erect-crested penguin is not a native of Macquarie Island: they come from the islands to the south of New Zealand, something like 1000 km distant.

Thank you so much Tess: in those days with limited slide film it was a matter of being very sure of the shot before hitting the button. :) And it's always a delight to visit your photos.

Thank you Christina. As a bird and wildlife photographer, I can only suggest you make this your "Mecca" destination. :)

A rare and great presentation George - especially from the analog days.
