Most of their time was spent<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; bobbing up and down in the water, rising and falling with each passing wave.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Sometimes the waves can be huge, and floating out in the open ocean can be like<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; being on a roller coaster. I can say that from personal experience of using inflatable<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; launches to reach offshore penguin colonies.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; I often visit the Rockhopper colony on Isla Pinguino which is about 40 km offshore<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; from Puerto Deseado in open ocean. Even in what fisherman would call good weather,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; going over the peak of each wave and down into the trough can be a drop by as<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; much as a two storey house. The launch we travel in is only about 9m (30 feet)<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; long, so it really does feel like a roller coaster.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The launches I use are run by the local tour operators, who take tourists to<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; see the penguins closer to the city on a daily basis. Isla Pinguino is much further<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; offshore. It is available to tourists but only as a special pre-booked tour,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; since it is a 6 hour round trip, and the weather has to be perfect to make the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; crossing.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The captain and his crew of two are used to being out in these rough waters in<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; such a small vessel. I am not. I am not used to sitting in a small inflatable<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; launch and looking up at waves that tower above us. It does not help when we<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; are going over the crest of those waves, to have the captain grinning from ear<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; to ear, and screaming out things like &#8220;Wowwww&#8221; and &#8220;That was a big one&#8221;.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; I always wonder, if these are the days of perfect weather for the crossing, what<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; are the bad days like? Of course penguins are not affected no matter how rough<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the seas get.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; During the last month Promises remained close to where the fish live the whole<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; time, so finding food was always easy. Whenever the penguins got hungry they<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; were able to just dive down and catch a few fish. The rest of the time was spent<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; just relaxing and doing nothing. It all sounds very lazy, but this was the first<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; chance for Promises to rest since last November.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Last year Promises began incubating the eggs, and from then on it has been all<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; work. Once the chicks hatched the adults were working from dawn to dusk every<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; single day, looking after the chicks and catching enough fish to keep them well<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; fed. The penguins lost up to a quarter of their weight during that period, and<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; this was their first chance to recover that weight.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Now their short break has come to an end, and the penguins are back in the colony<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; with new challenges to face.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Feathers are amazing things. They each have a central stem with lots of tiny<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; branches coming off it. Their complicated design enables them to keep warm-blooded<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; birds like Promises warm, even when living in cold seawater. That is not an easy<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; thing to do. Feathers trap a layer of warm air around Promises just like wet<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; suits do for divers and surfers.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Fur seals are known for the high quality of their fur, hence their name. However<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; their fur is nowhere near good enough to keep a penguin warm. It is okay for<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; large animals such as seals, which also have thick layers of fat under their<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; skin as additional insulation against the cold, but penguins would die from hypothermia<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; if they only had fur.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Feathers are far superior to fur in cold seawater, and it is no coincidence that<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the only small warm-blooded animals living in icy cold water for long periods<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; of time, all have feathers.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Feathers are very strong and resistant to wear, but they don&#8217;t last forever.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Eventually they become damaged and worn out, and then they have to be replaced<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; with new feathers. Penguins have to change their feathers once a year to make<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; sure that they are kept in good condition. If they didn&#8217;t do that, the feathers<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; would not be able to protect Promises from the cold seawater, and hypothermia<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; would inevitably result.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Since the penguins have to come out of the water to change their feathers, they<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; have now come back home to the colony. Most penguins like to return to their<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; nest during the molt, but some penguins prefer to molt on the beach instead.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; At this time of year we cannot reliably assume a penguin&#8217;s identity from its<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; nest.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; When Magellanic penguins begin breeding and make a nest, they retain that same<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; nest throughout their breeding life. Prior to egg-laying, penguins always return<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; to their same nest and will defend their nest against all intruders.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The males arrive home to begin egg-laying a few days before the females. Often<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; a young male penguin, nesting for the first time, will find what he thinks to<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; be the prefect ready-made nest with which to impress a female. However before<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the females have even arrived, he gets kicked out of that nest by the true owner,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; arriving home a few days later to reclaim his nest.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; You might think that when a fight occurs over ownership of a nest, that the strongest<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; penguin would be the victor, but that is not the case. The squatter may give<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; a few defiant pecks and calls as he retreats, but the rightful owner always recovers<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; possession of his nest. Maybe penguins are just honest, but more likely it is<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; because the squatter knows that usurping a nest is a lost cause.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Even if the squatter could hold off the male for a few days, he knows that the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; female will be arriving back home at this nest too, so the squatter would then<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; have to defend his claim against two angry penguins. That would be a lost cause.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; In addition, any penguin without a nest is also a penguin without a partner,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; so the male&#8217;s primary ambition is to attract a female. It would be hard to attract<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; a female in the midst of a prolonged dispute over who owns the nest. His best<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; bet is to just move on and find another spot to nest, which is what invariably<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; happens.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; However the breeding season is now over, and the defense of nests is no longer<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; a priority until breeding resumes again later in the year. During the molt many<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; penguins do not return to their nest, preferring to molt on the beach in groups.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; So other penguins will often use a nest in the owner&#8217;s absence without any dispute.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; That means we cannot reliably identify which penguin is in which nest at this<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; time of year. Only during the breeding season can we know for sure, which is<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; why the individual photos of Promises are all taken from the onset of egg-laying,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; through to the final stages of chick-rearing.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The worst thing about the molt for the penguins is that they cannot go back into<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the water until it has finished. That means they have to go without food for<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; 3 to 4 weeks, because the fish are all in the sea, where they cannot go.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Because penguins use their beaks to preen their feathers, the feathers around<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; their head and neck are usually the last ones to fall out, as you can see in<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the attached photo. The penguins cannot reach those areas with their beak, so<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; those feathers are not preened and take longer to fall out.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; You can see that the feathers lower down on the front and back appear to be short<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; and stubby. That is because those feathers have not finished growing yet. Over<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the next few days those feathers will grow a bit longer, and will also fan out,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; which enables them to trap air within the plumage in a dimension that fur cannot.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Even after the feathers have finished growing, Promises will still not be ready<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; to go out to sea. Before the penguins can go back out to sea the feathers have<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; to be waterproofed with wax. The cold seawater would enter the feathers if they<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; were not waxed, making them useless at keeping Promises warm.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Near to the base of the tail penguins have a gland that produces wax. They take<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; that wax in their beak and massage it into the feathers by preening. As you can<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; imagine it takes a long time to ensure that all the feathers are waxed. It is<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; one of the reasons that penguins are always preening.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Penguins do not only wax their feathers after molting. Penguins wax and preen<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; their feathers constantly whenever they come ashore. Just like most birds, penguins<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; spend a lot of time preening. The areas around the head which cannot be waxed<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; with their beak, are waxed using their feet or by allopreening.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Allopreening is the name given to penguins preening each other. It is an important<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; part of the couples&#8217; partnership behavior. Not only does allopreening help in<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; waxing the feathers, but it also helps to remove ticks and fleas from hard to<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; reach places.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The colony is usually a very noisy place, both during the day and throughout<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the night. During the egg-laying season the adult penguins call out constantly<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; day and night with their donkey-like braying. Their donkey-like call is the reason<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; that Magellanic and African penguins are often nick-named Jackass penguins.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; I attach a short video for you to hear the adult&#8217;s unusual call. The video also<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; shows what the colony looks like during the molt.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Those are not snowflakes that you see floating around, they are the feathers<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; that the penguins are shedding. You can see penguins in various stages of molting.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; You can also see couples preening each other, just as I mentioned.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; There is even some squabbling between the penguins too. Molting is a miserable<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; time and tempers are easily frayed, but the fights are rarely fierce at this<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; time of year. There are no nests or young to protect so quarrels are short and<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; pointless.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; As soon as the feathers have grown back and been waxed, Promises will be leaving<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the colony for the winter, and swimming northwards up the coast of Patagonia<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; towards Brazil.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Every year the penguins leave the colony for a few weeks during the winter. Winter<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; is on its way and Promises will travel north to warmer waters before the snow<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; gets here. The colony will be empty during the winter, and the penguins will<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; be a long way away in sunny Brazil.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; The world has a north pole and a south pole, and when the north is having its<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; summer, the south is having its winter. The north pole and the south pole are<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; always exactly opposite to each other. The nearer you live to one of the poles,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the greater will be the difference between winter and summer in terms of daylight,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; and probably temperature too, but not always.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; If you live at either of the poles, there is no night-time at all during the<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; summer. The days are so long that night disappears altogether during the summer.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; It is light for several weeks without ever getting dark. Of course then you pay<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; for that by having very short gloomy days during the winter. That is why many<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; penguins leave the south and travel northwards before winter arrives.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Penguins need to be able to see the fish in order to catch them, so short gloomy<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; days are no good at all for penguins trying to catch fish deep underwater. By<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; swimming northwards towards Brazil, Promises can avoid those short gloomy days,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; and spend the winter where there is good light to help see and catch the fish.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Magellanic penguins always lay their eggs in spring time. That means their chicks<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; grow up during the summer, when the penguins have the longest possible hours<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; of daylight to catch fish for their chicks. Then in the winter everything comes<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; to a halt, and the adults and juveniles all migrate to see out the winter where<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; there are more favorable conditions for feeding.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; A few other species of penguin live further away from the South Pole and do not<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; migrate. There are penguins that live close to the equator. Galapagos penguins<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; live on a tiny group of islands called the Galapagos Islands off the coast of<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Equador. They are able to have chicks all the year round because they have good<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; sunlight throughout the year.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Galapagos penguins do not follow any seasonal cycle. Breeding is stimulated amongst<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Galapagos penguins by a drop in sea surface temperatures to below about 24 degrees<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Celsius, which corresponds to the presence of nutrient rich currents, and in<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; turn an abundance of prey to feed their chicks.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Emperor penguins live close to the South Pole, but do not migrate either. They<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; huddle together in groups and sit out the freezing Antarctic winter with no food.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Smaller penguins would not be able to survive such hardship. The smaller an animal<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; is the more difficult it is to avoid heat loss, and the more fat it consumes<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; keeping warm. Emperor penguins are the world&#8217;s largest penguins, and even they<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; barely survive the Antarctic winters.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; However the majority of the world&#8217;s penguins do migrate further north during<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; winter. Their breeding and other activities are all determined by the seasons,<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; as is the case for Promises.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; It is our intention to start sending out more videos along with the photos in<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; the future, so we will be buying a new camera to take better quality videos.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; We will also need suitable software to ensure that the higher quality videos<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; can be kept small enough to be easily sent via email.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; Please let me know if receiving attachments like the video attached to this email<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; causes you problems with you email. It is difficult getting the balance right<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; between not sending videos that cause email problems for some people, and maintaining<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; a decent quality of video.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; I will write to you again in another few weeks, by which time Promises will have<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt; left the colony and will be swimming up the coast of Patagonia towards Brazil.<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;<br \/>\n<br \/>&gt;
