Hey, what's that round glass thing on the box?

Hey, what's that round glass thing on the box?
After pecking at my boot and leg, this Royal Penguin kindly posed for a standard portrait, pretty much looking as it did earlier. Then it moved a step or two closer and, for a few wildly exciting moments, I fully expected it was about to take a peck at my lens ..... thankfully it resisted the urge! :)

Thank you very much. I still had quite a bit more photography in line on the trip, so the thought of a peck at the lens caused an anxious moment. :)

Lovely shot, it's so rewarding when something wild has no fear of you.
