Photo Selected for Daily Dozen by National Geographic
Really pleased that so far one of the photographs from our South American trip has been recognised beyond this website. The above photograph was selected as one of the daily dozen on the National Geographic website for the second week of March (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/your-shot/daily-dozen). As a reminder from a previous blog entry, we spent over two hours with this exhausted Magellanic Penguin on one of the beaches close to Punta del Diablo, Uruguay. The chest feathers were covered in a petroleum residue, the result of a recent oil spill. This was one of the birds still alive, but we also came across a number of dead birds washed up on the beach.
