1st July 2008: It was our last day on the largest island of Isabela in the Galapagos. After doing our work in the morning, we set off for the beach, walking as far as we could. In the late afternoon, we were lucky enough to experience an incredible feeding frenzy set off by Galapagos’ sea birds. Imagine standing beneath thousands of blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds…it was an exhilarating experience!

The blue-footed boobies dive-plunge into the waters, aiming their dagger-like beaks at the shoals of fish swimming in the ocean.

Blue-footed boobies dive straight into the ocean at such a fast speed that it’s a wonderful sight to behold.

This marine iguana is the biggest species of all the Galapagos islands
