December 23rd, 2020: P-P-Pick up a Penguin

This award-winning photo by Tobias Baumgartner is purported to depict two widowed Fairy Penguins who meet and appear to comfort one another.  I found it through the BBC, but other sources also have the story.  The image was selected as Oceanographic magazine's Ocean Photograph of 2020

The photographer said at the BBC link all the tiny penguins are constantly grooming each other and constantly on the move which made it hard to get a limited light shot.

Did you know the Gentoo Penguins can hit 22 mph in the water, which is four times as fast as Mike Phelps.
