Aw, they are so adorable Krys, what lovely colours they are…and what a funny pic..;-)
Absolutely adorable Krys :-))
Thanks Lyn! I was so delighted to see my first King Penguins! They are really very impressive critters! ;o)
– Krys Bailey
They are gorgeous creatures. I saw some last year when we visited the cotswolds, theres a bird sanctuary there, I was fascinated with them :-)))
Then these are the same guys – at Birdland!!! Aren’t they fast swimmers!?! ;o)
– Krys Bailey
Yes….they’re the ones at Bourton on the water. We went this time last year…but I was on my crutches at the time…lol. We’ll probably go again though. They have some fabulous birds there don’t they and gorgeous gift shops :-)))
Have you been to Birdworld near Farnham? They have some beautiful featherballs there too!
– Krys Bailey
No…I haven’t tried that one…sounds very interesting though :-)))
Perfect title! Excellent pose you captured.
Congratulations this image is being featured in First Things
Many thanks Isa – I am very honoured! ;o)
