Yorke Bay, with Magellanic Penguins. The beach is fenced off as a suspected minefield. This leaves the penguins in peace - well, from people and dogs anyway...
Panicked penguins running up the hill
The reason for the panic, bull Sea Lion with a penguin
Cautious penguins
Turkey Vulture with the scraps
Another attempt, this one was unsuccessful as the penguins scattered across the beach

Successfully
Dismembering the penguin just offshore, blood and guts all over the place. Such is nature.
