Waved Albatross

Waved Albatross

Location: Espanola Island, Galapagos, Ecuador
Date: 11 May 2003
The albatross are master flyers, covering insane distances and flying for weeks at a time to bring back food from near the coasts of Peru. However, when they attempt to walk it's quite another story, and extremely amusing to watch. Graceful on land they are not.
