Giant Penguins: A request from Richard Muirhead

Richard Muirhead sent me an email yesterday asking the following question and requesting that I post on the 'Watcher of the Skies' blog in case any of you readers out there have any further information:

"Have you heard stories of giant penguins, 6 ft high in the 18th Century on S.Georgia, near the Falkland Islands? Apparently someone called Andreas Sparrman, who was connected with Captain Cook, wrote about them."
