- Abstract
The article describes a colony of isabelline adult King Penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus sighted at sub-antarctic Marion Island in Prince Edward Islands on November 21, 2007. The individual's face, dorsal surface and flippers were pale grey in contrast with the usual scaly black, greyish-blue hue, and has a normal bill and eye colouration. Two previous records of isabelline King Penguins were reported in the island despite extensive field presence and frequent visits to King Penguin colonies by field biologists over many years.
