 Until now we had only seen blue-footed boobies in
small numbers, but here a large flock was feeding
along
the rocks, moving like a swarm of bees and diving
like gannets.
 We tend to take pelicans for granted as they've
been around most of the time we've been in the
tropics.
 My favourite tropical bird - tropic birds. They
are so graceful and unlike anything else. We have
seen
them very rarely. This and the following pictures
are the red-billed tropic bird which is only found in
the Galapagos islands.

gull - is only found in Galapagos
