Penguins 'porpoising' on their way to climb out of the water
A leopard seal, lying offshore in wait for an easy snack
The macaronis have to contend with some huge waves - a washing machine at the foot of the colony
It can take several attempts before they make a successful landing on solid rock
All wet and sleek, recently emerged from the sea
They are called macaroni penguins because of their gold crest...
...it is a reference to the 'dandies' of the 18th century, who would go to Italy on travels and return with fashionable blonde streaks in their hair...
The colony fills up fast - only two weeks ago this was a bare scree slope - now the noise and smell of the busy penguin colony is incredible
