California-based penguin photographer Ira Meyer reveals his favourite photos of the bird he's been documenting for more than a decade around Antarctica and the South Georgia region.
Over the years he has snapped a number of different species including Macaronis and Chinstraps. He says that a penguin's behaviour changes each season but they always guarantee to be entertaining.

Gentoo chicks are always hungry.

So adorable. But the International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies the royal penguin as near-threatened

Macaronis have a distinctive tuft of yellow hair on their heads - and chinstraps (seen above) - which have a visible black line under their beaks, as if they're wearing hats
