Wildlife photographers – especially bird photographers – are a unique breed. They spend days in the field being quiet and patient while scanning the terrain with binoculars and listening for calls. At the slightest movement, they focus a very long lens braced by a tripod for a perfect shot between dense foliage. None of those skills are needed at the Galápagos Islands. The wildlife is so abundant, so close and so unflinching that anyone with a mobile phone can take amazing photos.
