Wow, those are amazing pics. Can't decide which is my favorite. That last pic is incredible. So natural. Thanks for sharing them with us

Great pics ! I far prefer your fist picture to the last one - I fail completely to see how it's anywhere close to "natural" though

What those plastic looking "clips" on the penguin's flippers though ?

i was not to sure and forgot to ask the people. they were only on the smaller penguins that were being hand fed so i am guessing they are to id the penguins for feeding purposes. the bigger penguins did not have these clips and were not being hand fed. All i know is they do not break the skin
