Pelicans and Flamingos on Floreana Island, Galapagos

There are so many different kind of birds on the Galapagos Islands but in this article, we are going to focus on the pelicans and flamingos. The pelican sitting on the rocks is one of our better and favorites bird pictures ever. Another pelican was doing acrobatics in the shallow water.

In the middle of a lake we could see tens of flamingos. A bit far but still possible to take pictures. Flamigos keep on fascinating us, before this trip we only saw them in the Caribbean.

Er zijn ongelooflijk veel vogelsoorten op de Galapagos eilanden maar in dit artikel gaan we ons voornamelijk richten op pelikanen en flamingo’s. De pelikaan op de rotsen is één van onze betere en favoriete vogelfoto’s ooit. Een andere pelikaan deed aan wateracrobatie. 

In het midden van een meer konden we flamingo’s zien. Een beetje ver maar toch nog mogelijk om foto’s te trekken. Flamingo’s blijven ons fascineren maar tot nu toe hadden we ze enkel gezien op de Caribische eilanden.

  1. What great pictures! I love the pelican with his wings spread! Looks like he is making a landing. And I recognize a blue egret. The spotted lizard is actually kind of pretty! So many flamingos!
