    We saw several pairs of these courting Albatrosses on our walk across the island of Espanola to see the blowhole in action. Another lifer for my list!

    The Wave Albatross only nest on The Galapagos and there are about 12,000 breeding pair in the population. It was wonderful to walk amongst them in the nesting colony and to see them takeoff from the cliffs into the wind. There wingspan is 2.35 m . Neil.

    Waived Albatross nests only on Galapagos Islands. It has one of the longest wingspan of any birds.
