I say "several" because they like to line up and dive one after another:

Hm...  What they do in that video isn't as uniform.

Okay, Mr. Mech. But what makes you think that?

It looks to me like the bird images are going to land on the same spot as that first one.

You know how your phone can take multiple photos of an object and then you piece them together into some kind of motion picture?

That's what it looks like on this photo. Penguins will line up one after another but not so exact as the movements of one in this scenario.

Here's one photo showing penguins in a line to get weigh:
