Macquarie Island 1968: Southern Giant Petrel

From an old slide. The Southern Giant Petrels were usually known among Australian antarctic expeditions as "Nellies". This one nesting is in the white colour phase: dark brown/grey is the more common plumage, but they change.

Macquarie Island 1968: An odd couple

16 Feb 2013 4 6 655
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.
