    Pelicans have such unusual faces, almost like a Swan that had a nose job!

  10. Thanks for sharing these beautiful birds.. I have seen pelicans in Florida but they were a dull grey colour.

  11. The great thing about pelicans is that they are not frightened of humans and tend to hang about waiting to be hand-fed. Great for photographers ...

  14. I have never looked at the join between the pelican's beak and its head before... Really doesn't look like it belongs. I scrolled to the bottom of the page, looking at all the other beaks, and they all seemed to have grown on the birds, not been pasted on. Weird...

  15. Great pics of the pelican...I'm used to seeing brown ones in Miami, Florida USA...always heard their beaks can hold more than their belly can - LOL!

  17. Another memory from the past - often visited Shingle Splitters point back, well, a long time ago! Plenty of pelicans back then too - all waiting for the fishermen to return and start cleaning the catch!!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
