The Galapagos, the island of tortoises in the Pacific, host a wide variety of species. The only penguin on the equator vied with the rare Waved albatross for our attention. Seabirds also included three species of booby, two frigate birds, red-billed tropic birds and swallow-tailed and lava gulls. The giant tortoises fed alongside the brilliant red vermilion flycatcher. There are mocking birds and several species of Darwin's finches. Wedge-rumped storm petrel live alongside Galapagos short-eared owl. Fur seal, sea lion, land and marine iguana share the coastline with black turtle and flightless cormorant. From the Arctic we had wintering whimbrel, turnstone and wandering tattler. This is a volcanic wonderland of wildlife.
