That’s our bird!!! He’s been hanging around there for more than a month, I wondered when someone would spot him.

This is Juju, named by my other nephew.

Thank you Bluesky friends for getting this to me, how very cool!

Let’s see if the Bluesky mindhive can help track this beauty down… we found a satellite tagged Emperor Penguin today on the fast ice in McMurdo Sound, Ross Sea. Anyone know who might have tagged it? #Seabirds #Penguins @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social @scar-antarctic.bsky.social
