    Hi JamesThePenguinSpotter!
    Yes - this penguin is making an #ecstatic display. It's really happy about something - possibly it has a chick and wants all the others to know it. A few of the chicks here hatched about a week or so before this date. You can just see some. They are still very small and tend to keep their heads tucked into the parent's brood pouch. As you know - you lose lots of heat through your head so they protect that part under mum/dad.

    Happy counting!
