"Wot's this?" by quietpurplehaze

"Wot's this?"

A less than friendly welcome from the penguin reception committee for this moorhen chick (& his mum) who appeared to have strayed into their territory.

This was one of those take-it-or-lose-it shots - no second chance!
That poor little baby is way too close to that penquin's beak! What a great shot :)

A super capture of the nosy penguin and cute baby moorhen and great expressions on the other penguins too.

Well caught Hazel. The little'uns don't seem too concerned, do they?

Arthur, how nice to get a comment from you. I was thinking of you just now walking along with Jinks (he dawdles which gives plenty of time for thought!) and wondering how you were getting on with the 'technical bits'.

Fav, a super family capture.

Great capture, it doesn't look pleased.
June 22nd, 2014  
Nicely shot! Looks like the baby is on the move and hopefully was quicker than the penguin!
June 22nd, 2014  
Incredible picture.
June 22nd, 2014  
Great capture!

Fantastic timing. It looks as though he is saying "Go off and play down your own end".

"Who invited YOU?!?"
June 22nd, 2014  
Wonderful capture. It sure looks like someone is not happy there. I hope they worked out.
June 22nd, 2014  
Super capture, Hazel, great grab shot/timing. Humorous!

Ferry you DO make me laugh! Thanks for the fav! Hope the beer was good - the only thing worth doing in this weather is sitting in the garden with a cold drink!
