GALAPAGOS CONSERVATION TRUST
THE booby prize and the galapagos conservation trust
Remember, £1 from every entry goes towards adopting a Booby!
Blue-footed boobies are one of six booby species in the genus Sula and primarily feed on sardines. Due to a carotenoid pigment obtained in their diet, they are easily recognised thanks to their blue feet, which they display through elaborate mating rituals.
At The Booby Prize, we have always had a fascination with these bright blue footed birds so it was always going to be a win-win situation to be able to start a writing competition and help support the conservation of these amazing creatures.
