Blue footed Booby

The word ‘booby’ is from the Spanish word ‘bobo’ whic means stupid or clownish. When these birds dance they certainly resemble clowns.

What a great bird Carole and a beautiful painting. You always get such lovely rich colours.

Lovely Carole and how interesting.

Lovely 'bobo' !

Lovely picture, really good colours.

A curious looking bird with character! Nicely painted Carole.

Lovely bird painting Carole, there are so many birds I have never seen before.

I nearly didn’t post this as it’s so old but I find I learn so much from the birds that are posted here so I thought it might interest those of you who hadn’t heard of this bird. Thank you so much everyone for your interest and endearing comments - always so welcome Sarah, Denise, Petra, Stephen, Tessa and Gillian
