This endemic waved albatross, is one of the
largest birds that lives in the Galapagos. Like other birds in the
Galapagos, the albatross had an interesting courtship which includes bill
clicking, a specific dance and a courtship call. There are
approximately 12,000 pairs that breed in Espanola Island. They fly to
the continent until March, and let it be told that they seem to be excellent
in flight but their take-off is a little more difficult. When visiting
Espanola you can visit the 'Albatross Airport' which is a large cliff.
The take a running start in hopes they will take-off.
