Wildlife at King Edward Point

A Bull Elephant Seal at K.E.P. showing his battle scars.

There is a fair sized colony of Elephant Seals at King Edward Point and the bull above was dominant. There were a few females suckling young and a half interested Skua stepped his way through the group. A Snowy Sheathbill was, as usual causing havoc among the seals tormenting them mercilessly, especially this bull. The males are not normally aggressive towards humans, but another male is a different matter. There are usually a few King Penguins also, but very seldom have I seen Gentoo Penguins coming ashore here.
