Feeding Time Galapagos Style







We had a stroll along the waterfront and came across an interesting scene of activity. The fisherman had brought in their catch for the day and a variety of creatures were in on the action. The Pelicans were queued for fish on one side of the counter like customers at a store with humans queued on the other side buying fish. An iguana desperately crawled up the ice box trying to get some of the fish as well. You can see him in the bottom right corner of the first photo. A sea lion rolled around on the sidelines trying to relax in the midday sun but kept getting disturbed by pelicans. On the following day I went back to the market and the sea lion was in on the action leaning over the counter to sample some of the days catch. A blue footed booby bird also appeared with the pelicans being favoured by the fisherman for an easy meal.
