This is a little blue penguin. I had to crawl into a smallish cave to get this photo and these guys smell bad!
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

They STINK but they are so cute! You were game to go crawling in the cave as they do peck!

@Maxine: thanks Max luckily I didn't get pecked I think I was lucky to see him. but they can be found by their smell.

Interesting contrast to yesterdays pic. Love the slightly annoyed expression on its face - clearly not amused at being called smelly!

There were two penguins on an iceberg. Penquin1 looked at Penquin2 and said: "you look like you're wearing a tuxedo." Penquin2 said: "what makes you think I"m not."
