Suggested edit: Scientists Found More Than a Million "Rare" Penguins in Antarctica
As an auditor I counted tons of walnuts, prunes, seeds, blooms and slabs, all for different clients, of course. And I did it while wearing a suit! And I used a notepad with a clipboard!

The team proceeded to count the number of birds by hand and used a modified commercial quadcopter drone to take images of the entire island from above, to help locate penguin nests that have gone undetected for decades. They counted 751,527 pairs of penguins in total.
In every profession one has to pay one's dues.
