Pelican







with Intermediate Egret





I'm glad it's making such a good catch because this pelican has obviously been in the wars somehow, at one time



it was all happening down along here, at Lake Macquarie

Great sequence!! Many fishermen (read 'Pilchard') would be ecstatic to land a fish that size!!!

It's just wonderful how you capture their fabulous "design" ...and their typical behavior! I do love seeing the two birds in that one photo, too. Egret?

Pretty good pelican pictures.
My daughter in law met a pelican for the first time a while back, she was amazed how friendly they were.
