One of the first animals to greet you on arrival in Galápagos is the sea lion. There is a population of around 50,000, so they are a common sight on most islands.

Wildlife Focus: Blue-footed Booby
The Blue-footed Booby is one of my favourite sea birds to be found in the Galapagos. They are easily identifiable by their bright blue feet (the clue is in the name!). Their plumage is brown on top, with a white under belly and slightly darker brown wings.
