Photo by @RalphLeeHopkins // Courtship display in the #Galápagos Islands. The Galápagos or waved albatross perform their mating ritual in late afternoon light on Espanola Island, their primary nesting site. Albatross only come ashore to breed, and the waved albatross only breed in the Galapagos Islands.
