"Friends, Romans, Countrymen..." (Aptenodytes patagonicus)

This shot was taken on the beach at Gold Harbour in South Georgia, one of the island's largest King Penguin colonies with about 25,000 pairs. I love the way this one seemed to be standing on his lump of tussock grass, surveying his minions like an old style Roman emperor.

You couldn't have picked a more suitable caption! Love it! And I'm just as happy the smell wasn't captured. :-O Well done! :t: :t:

One of the most appropriate and funniest captions we've ever seen and 100% believable.What a pitty we can't hear the oratory.

Many thanks all - it was a great priviledge to be there, and Kings are the most brilliant birds.
