These penguins were walking,
waddling and tobogganing up and down the area beneath the ice
foot looking somewhere to get out. So I thought I'd play a
little trick, squat down out of view and wait for them to turn
the corner - no I didn't jump up and shout "surprise!", but the
comic effect of the first bird's reaction to realising he was
coming towards me at high speed is evident.
Fortunately I managed to get this
shot off and capture the moment before moving sea-wards (to the
left) and allowing their progress to continue, they were back
again a few minutes later though as all they could really do was
wait for the tide to come in and raise them up to the right
level.
