Spent a beautiful morning at #PortLockroy carrying out a #dronesurvey of the penguin colony for @Oceanites whilst @hmsprotector carried out cargo operations for @AntarcticHT
Drone surveys of nesting penguins on the Antarctic peninsula for @Oceanites are going well. Had good weather until now, but it’ll be hand counts for a bit whilst it’s snowy & windy. The crew on @hmsprotector are getting us to every colony possible. #PenguinPeople
