Blue Suede Shoes...
Blue-footed Booby, Galapagos Islands
OK… so they’re not suede… couldn’t think what else to call it.
“No colour is more surprising amongst the drab rocks of these tropical desert islands than the intense bright blue of the blue-footed booby’s feet. How these birds got their bright blue feet continues to puzzle naturalists and perhaps the only safe answer to “why?” is “why not?” “
