Sweet Galapagos Penguin

Photographed by Sandy Nelson

Penguins are my absolute favourite bird, and I was delighted when we spotted two Galapagos penguins while touring around in the panga around Elizabeth Bay, Isabela Island, Galapagos. I like how the colours of the penguin seem to exactly match the colours of its environment, except for a little pink around its beak and its clear brown eye.
