Re: You asked for Boobies
"Boy's will be boy's". Ever wonder why they are blue footed and a very striking blue at that? There must be a reason somewhere in the evoloution of the bird. Nice shots.Conor.
Ever wondered what happens the dark when the light is switched on?Comment

Re: You asked for Boobies
The first two were taken on North Seymour and the last one on Rabida Island. We went there in 2008, as you said a most memorable experience.

Re: You asked for Boobies
A little research came up with this
The early British meaning of the word " Booby " is a stupid person.
Because these birds had no fear of seamen and were easy to kill for food, the name was used and stuck.
That first image is crying out to be printed and hung.The picture tells the story, great when you have a bad memory.DW.Comment
