In Galapagos there are pelicans everywhere, but usually they
fish off rocks. This one decided that Anastasia's pushpit was a good
place for dropping down on the fish below. He doesn't seem to have
any problems balancing on the rail with his webbed
feet.
There were often penguins swimming around the anchorage,
eating the little fish that are attracted to the yachts, but the
penguins move so fast that it is surprisingly difficult to get a photo of
them. Finally Andrea managed to snap one this morning, as we were
about to leave Isabela on our way to Santa
Cruz.
But one of my lasting memories will be of this
iguana on the "beach of love" (an iguana nesting beach).
Enjoying the last of the sun's rays, this
guy has clearly had a very good day. You can't help smiling
with him.
