taste of nature #1 a penguin

the last of my photo of the week segments i'm adding (for now) is some of the amazing natural things and places i've been to and seen.

in honour of mo's current penguins of the world posts over at the dissillusioned taxonomist, a yellow crested penguin i managed to sneak up on here around dunedin. i mean literally sneak up on (you'll note the grass framing the pic...) as their quite shy.
