*This February, after more than 180 years of absence, giant tortoises returned to Floreana Island.
Giant tortoises once played a central role in shaping the island’s ecosystems, but they have been gone for more than 180 years. Their return restores a key ecological function and represents an important step in the broader, long-term effort to rebuild what was lost.*

As the Floreana Mockingbird only occurs on Isla Champion off the coast of Floreana I'm posting these heavily cropped out of focus photographs of the bird. As you're not allowed to land on the island the photographs were taken from a Zodiac inflatable with 14 other birders.
