Day 4, Sunday, April 21
We are spending the whole day on and around Espanola island. Three hours in Gardner Bay with a nice beach and of course sea lions. Snorkling off the beach was fun especially when we were swimming above shark's cave (white tipe reef shark). Two of them came out and were swimming right beneath me. Ahhh, scary.
Afternoon hike took us through Punta Suarez.
Different marine iguanas - from redish to greenish
Colonies of Waved Albatross. One field was even called the albatross airport as many pairs are breeding there. Had a chance to see and film the courtship ritual with beak clacking and a bit "drunk" walk of the male bird.
Further along on trail we saw Nazca Boobies. They two were in couples, cleaning each other.
Another sight was shallow-tailed gulls "doing it".
The rest of Day 4 pictures are here.
