Back in February I'd posted some pelican photos taken along the bridge on this post, and said there were more to come. Glad you waited around ... :)
View from the bridge; the walk took me from one end to the other. I ended up where you can see those white sails, on the foreshore to the right of the palm tree
I'd parked at the Pelicans Wharf, Terilbah Reserve, where the 'x' shows at the top right hand of this photo, and took my pics on the opposite side.
There was a good guitarist/singer entertaining to an audience sitting back in chairs on the grassed area under cover; while the little red fun train went back and forth behind where I sat on the edge of the pathway/by the water.
It was kind of surreal, sitting there with a smorgasbord of water-birds to photograph though not to the sounds of water lapping around my feet, but to the up beat of Copperhead Road instead.
plenty of seagulls

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the pelicans Carole. I love the one where 3 are facing one way with their bills down and the 4th is looking the other way.
ReplyDeleteSoft downy heads and pink beaks - they are beautiful!
