Time to upload the pictures from Wednesday's Whale-watching (otra vez) and the trip to Isla de la Plata. Before getting on the boat, we basically walked along the beach and made a nuisance of ourselves by standing in the way of all the fishermen taking pictures of their catch.
+Mr Fish looking somewhat suprised to find himself surrounded by human feet on the beach
Not so much surprised as aghast at being tied together and lifted into the air
They're watching you!
I couldn't take a single decent picture of the Isla de la Plata on that day, so this will have to do.
Blue-footed boobies were everywhere. This is apparently their nesting-time...
... which they love to spend right in the middle of the footpath on the island...
...whilst glaring and occasionally squawking at passers-by.
They're quite unafraid, letting you get as close as 1m on the footpath.
A little down the path, a huge colony of "Fregatas" was resting on the trees overlooking the drop down to the ocean and surfing the updrafts.
Those are the birds that remind me so much of prehistorical flying dinosaurs when silhouetted against the sky.
I can't remember the name of those, but they puff out their huge red bags with a lot of gusto.
And I'm saving the piece de resistance:
This whale was kind enough to swim circles around us and jump for our viewing pleasure. I've a few more of him jumping, but there's always an aerial in the way, or it's very out of focus, so that'll take considerably more time to get them to decent quality.
I'm off on Sunday for 3 days trekking to Ingapirca, so don't wait up for more posts until probably Thursday or Friday of next week.
