It was a magical evening on the isle of Rabida in the Galapagos last September. In addition to a pair of oystercatchers parading on a red-sand beach we had numerous American flamingos of varying age. Some juveniles were stoic while others begged for food. This one emerged from the pond for a preen and provided me with a fantastic opportunity. As luck would have it sun angle was dead on with a red-sand background.
