Rockhopper penguins pictured at Sea Lion's rugged coastline in Falklands Islands. One of the smallest and the most southerly of the Falklands islands, Sea Lion Island is home to many species of birds and mammals. During his time on the island in November 2017, Photographer Craig Jones was fortunate to capture photos of the islands Rockhopper penguin residents. Spotted on several stretches along Sea Lion?s rugged coastline, the Rockhopper Penguins were coming shore and then heading back to their mates and nests. Rockhoppers often nest on high cliffs and the walk to the sea and back is a dangerous one. The photographer observed the penguins getting battered by the Atlantic Ocean before coming ashore, without any injuries, and then heading to relieve the mates sitting on eggs and the young. The penguins would take it in turn to repeat the cycle a few times each day. (Photo by Craig Jones/Barcroft Images)
