This is a blue footed (you's never have guessed would you) booby...
I like this picture as it shows how crazy these little guys are... he would be so well disguised if it wasn'y for his BRIGHT BLUE feet!!
They use their feet to attract mates - they do a nice little dance where they lift one foot - then the other - its very cute :)
Definitely my favourite bird from the Galapagos :)
Increased saturation and brightness slightly - sharpened for upload..

Hi Kat
Only a female booby could love blue feet. Are the female feet blue?

We learn something every day wandering through TL

Nice picture - looking at the thumbnail it almost looks like its been partially desaturated, with just the feet colour left in. Just shows how stark some natural colours can be.
Nice composition and great feet - a great focal point, even if you're not a female blue footed booby.
Thanks for sharing

I must be great to see creatures like this in person. You've done a great job capturing his image, feet and all. Nice and sharp. Well done.

Hi Kat,
Nice picture of nice bird! I think he will camouflage well if not his feet! This blue really stand out of surrounding!
Cheers :)

great shot amazing blue feet, TFS

Super cool bird. But I would have loved purple feet better ;)
Well captured this picture.
Did you notice how dirty they are with all they leave behind? Your picture is full of it..
Well done
