Caption
First emperor chicks hatched at Auster Rookery, July 15, 2008. The adult male incubates the single egg on his feet for around 65 days, protected beneath his brood patch. During the incubation period the female partner heads out to sea to forage, and times her return to her mate with the hatching of their chick.
