welcome back to slow travel chronicles stephanie is taking the week off so i am sitting here in her
place this is the first of several videos from the galapagos islands which was an awesome trip
we spent a week cruising the islands on the archipelago a catamaran each day we went to the
islands twice we went snorkeling twice all meals were on the boat we spent the night on the boat
and generally the boat cruised from island to island at night so what you're going to see
in this week's video is some clips from the first couple of days on the islands and i will warn you
one it rained and two stephanie was using a new camera so you can hear the rain hitting the camera
the camera's a little bit difficult and different to use but anyway this should show you pretty
much what life is like touring the galapagos islands at least in the rain so i hope you enjoy
look here we have some of the brown noddies
they belong to the turn family so they had a naughty turn
are they uh endangered or less in population there is less population
for them yes definitely they were affected by the waiters when they passed by yeah
ah
so that's a large ground finch
yeah so they have but they don't produce enough throw their feathers so they cannot go on the
water to touch the fish they can skip it from the surface right they can catch it from the surface
but they cannot go in the water like a blue for a boobie or a pelican so what do they do sixty
percent of the time they'll steal fish from other birds that's why they are known as pirates right
so for example in the case of a red of a red-beard tropic bird that one with a long tail when the
bird catches the fish they'll go after him if the red deal makes the mistake of swallowing the fish
then the frigates will beat him up till he pukes the fish out then they'll take it away
oh
is he looking for a mate at this time yeah that is a that is very uh clear sign of
uh this plane right so he wants to mate he's looking for a female
when he sees a female fly by or fast fight he's gonna open his feathers he's gonna start flapping
and making sound yes he doesn't have a nest yet though he is no he's not sitting
so
videos of the hawks or eagles picking up poodles
so there is a tight change right now look at that there is tight coming
in um
ah
um
so even though garrett gave me time off for the intro he wouldn't do the end so
