It was fun swimming with the sea turtles and trying to capture an above AND below water photo. This was as close as I got!
Faraway Friday-Galapagos
Category: Wildlife
We’re back!
My eagle pair are back and nest building. This was on a branch right near my window. He was looking for a tasty fish or duck for lunch.
Wildlife Wednesday- Galapagos Tortoise
It was so cool to see the giant Tortoises walking right down the path looking for some good shade. If you haven’t been, you wont be disappointed. Go to the Galapagos while they are still there and open (permits to visit are getting more and more restrictive.)
Just tuck it in.
Most of the Koalas were like this one…Totally SQUISHED into the branches for safe snoozing.
On the move…
This ONE Koala was constantly on the move. They usually sleep 22 hrs a day. All his buddies were sleeping. But he was everywhere.
Fairy Penguins
These cute lil Fairy Penguins are only 9-12 inches tall. 2000-3000 come ashore after feeding each night at sunset. First, one or two will run about 10 feet inland and then chicken out. THis goes on for about 30 minutes. Then a few finally get brave and then they waddle in in groups of 20-30 for about 45 minutes. Sorry it’s a lil blurry but I had to take this one handed by my foot because they do not allow photography because too many people kept using flash. To see a cute video here is a link to my video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ncsGdRebcpsfiWrQA
On Phillip Island they have created a center to protect the penguins and have built viewing platforms to keep humans from disturbing the penguins too much as they return to their burrows.
