Despite this species being "common" on the islands, it took us three days to finally locate one! It is, upon inspection, rather a beautiful little bird with speckled feathers and eyes lined with vivid blue. Rabida. October 2005.

Yes, I spent about two weeks there a few years ago and consider myself very fortunate to have done so. It's an essential pilgrimage for anyone interested in the natural world so if you're thinking of visiting my advice is: go for it! If you want any practical tips or advice, send me a PM.

If I'm honest, we did not see too much of the Ecuadorians as most of our time was spent on the ship or exploring uninhabited islands. However, the crew (six plus a cook) and guide were native and all were very pleasant to talk to (the guide, Wilo, could speak better english than me) and very knowledgable about the islands and their wildlife.
