Galapagos-North Seymour

After joining our boat we made the very short trip from Baltra harbour to the channel between Baltra (or South Seymour) and North Seymour where we would spend the first night. In the late afternoon we landed on the small island of North Seymour, a flat rocky islet with a fairly dense growth of thorn scrub. It holds one of the biggest nesting colonies of Magnificent Frigatebird which nest in the small trees as well as a smaller number of Great Frigatebirds. We were treated to the amazing display of the male Magnificent Frigatebirds which inflate their red throat sack and utter a harsh chattering call to attract female birds to their nest site.
We soon got to realise just how approachable most of the birds and animals are on these islands - and what a mistake it was to have brought a long camera lens ! This was the only location where we encountered the impressive Land Iguana which is much rarer than the Marine Iguana.
