OK, so waking up early was not only to watch the sunrise it is also the best time to see certain wildlife mainly the frigate birds. There is a large population of magnificent frigate birds on this island, along with Blue Footed Boobies. They say if you keep an eye out you will be able to see the courtship dance/selection process that happens. Guess what we got to see the selection process take place between a pair of frigate birds. It was interesting to see the male frigate birds attract the attention of the ladies by inflating their bright red skin flaps. They sometimes fly in the air to call more attention to themselves, which is, in itself, a funny display, as the puffy flap throws off their sense of balance!
I also got up close and personal with a juvenile Blue Footed Boobie (I think he is about to kiss me). Oh!! but it was so cute looking at me with its big eyes. (Don't worry mum I am not bringing it home).
As our walk comes to an end so is our journey upon our luxury boat. Good News is that we have a few more days to explore the waters of Galapagos before we leave.
