Tender Embrace

I observed these King Penguins on the beach for quite a while a they enjoyed each other's company. These birds are so fun to watch as they have a lot of character and seem to have a happy go lucky attitude to life. King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus). East Falkland Island, Falkland Islands.
