Las Perlas Islands

"Pelicans incoming, arrowhead formation," I yelled as the wedge - like triangle plunged into the disorganised mass of frigate birds.  Underneath the ball were nests and dead trees and birds with red puffy wattles on their black, stream lined, almost elegant features.
Down below, the beach seemed alive with hermit crabs of all different shapes, sizes and colors.
The sea was dazzling blue, as bright as the sunniest summer's day, with only the gentle song of the waves against the shore to break the serenity.

  1. A nice piece of writing Baxter and I really like your strong start. I love hermit crabs. That must have been quite a sight.
