Make an orderly queue
Ugh!
Say cheese
Eh, you're in the way
Tough job
Still in my way
Arghhhhhhhhhh
Whatcha doin' there?
Ribbit!
Shudder
These things are weird
But still smiling
Two by two?
COME ON!
London Zoo count
And having a wee bit of trouble
What you lookin' at?
Seriously, what ARE you looking at?
Oh OK then
An EU owl
Still hanging out
The workers
One, two, three
