Ecuador – Galapagos – Espanola – Fi – Photos

It felt like there was a ridiculous amount of wildlife crammed onto Espanola, sea lions, iguanas, waved albatross, Galapagos hawks, blue footed boobies, nazca boobies. A surreal place to visit and possibly my favourite island. Across all the islands, as the animals have no real predators  they have no fear of humans and whilst you shouldn’t approach them, if they come to you it’s absolutely OK to sit and quietly watch. It’s a strange and beautiful experience to have a baby sea lion shuffle up to you to check you out, similarly it’s pretty awe inspiring to have the adult sea lions inquisitively swim under and around you as your snorkel – You probably sense what my favourite animal to spend time with was!
