Bryan Nelson, a young zoologist, and his wife spent an entire year on two uninhabited islands of the Galapagos. This book describes their months of isolation and their detailed investigations into the life history and behavior of the sea birds; white boobies, blue-foots, red-foots, gulls, frigates and albatrosses, and the amazing colonies of piqueros and guanay cormorants on the Peruvian Guano Islands.

With a foreword by H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh. 59 photographs and more than 60 line drawings.
