This frigatebird and albatross followed us for over two hours as our

ship moved from Floreana to Santa Cruz island in the Galapagos. They

positioned themselves about 5 meters above our top deck right in the

middle of the ship. They never strayed more than a couple of meters

from their position relative to the ship. However, they about every

20 minutes the bird in the lead would drop back and let the other

assume the lead position.

Nice capture. However, they are both magnificent frigatebirds. The male is in front and the female is second. BTW, you have one of the greatest portfolios I've seen on this web site.
