This one’s for the birds.

An area of Volunteer Point, Falkland Islands has been reserved specifically for penguins according to a loud sign declaring, “Stop! Penguins only beyond this point.”

A photograph of an adolescent king penguin admiring the sentiment was captured by naturalist and wildlife photographer Aniket Sardana recently. The shutterbug also snapped some shots of the youngster’s friends enjoying their private beach.

Penguins are such a fixture of Falklands Islands life that one of the archipelago’s main newspapers is called The Penguin News.
