FALKLAND ISLANDS, SOUTH ATLANTIC: PLAYFUL penguin chicks living on British territory have been snapped enjoying a spot of GENTOO fun. This too-cute trio of Gentoo penguins can be seen waddling their way back to mum. The first penguin chick to reach her got to have its pick-pick-pick of the grub.

Photographer couple Giedrius Stakauskas (39) and Dalia Kvedaraite (37) from London, captured these scenes on a trip to the Falkland Islands.
