I'm envious Steve ... chance of a lifetime?

#3 is a charmer

composition of #1 and #2 could be better

 

[htid]

I agree with Bill. Great set all round except for #1 and 2 needing a slightly better crop. Still, all nice shots, #3 being my favourite

Wonderful shots..I watched a tv programme re. the Gentoos on Port Lockroy,Anatartica (I think) in a place that has a post office..quite famous. There was a really funny incident. The female went off to get some stones for the nest and whilst away her mate bonked off with another female. His 'wife' returned and caught him out and gave him a few belts with her flipper and he cowered then she went 20 paces or so to the other female and gave her one round the ear too..So funny.

A real privilege to see these wonderful creatures.
