Mugs Phil 1974 22 Journal Isla Wenman, Galapagos, Ecuador 31 Jan forward motion over Wenman. Saw lots of turtles & several sharks, including one big hammerhead. The night to Pallau, Joel & I climbed up to the boobie colony to look for geckos. Boobies in all stages of development - from fuzzy chicks to nearly fledged youngsters, but some eggs. Red feet in clothes, blue foot in the sand. Immense mouths & wicked beaks which they do not hesitate to use if we wander too close. Mockingbird, yellow warbler, finches but we were collecting no bird. Nesting lava gulls with eggs. Friget bird & tropic bird also nesting or at least roosting in the vicinity. We rolled rocks for about an hour to get 15 geckos. Largest dark. We also ran across 3-4 centipede. On Wenman we find them up to 6-8" long & fully 1/2" across the body (not counting legs). They & the geckos probably live on insects in the boobie droppings, & the centipedes probably also eat geckos. Watched an aerial acrobatics show while waiting for the Beagle II. We were sitting on top of a high cliff watch the frigate bird & boobies (todors) above & below us. Boobies
