Hi Carole. I'm laughing over your Pelican pictures. Not your skills asa photographer of course but just the comical poses pelicans adopt. I never ealised they did so many strange things until I studied some captive ones at the Zoo and stood entranced.
Some lovely shots there.
And thanks for your kind comments on my Menorca post. Pity it's so far - you'd love it in Menorca.
I absolutely love Pelicans! Their behaviour is quite comical at times. It's incredible how such a large and seemingly awkward bird can fly so gracefully!
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.
There is something uniquely appealing about pelicans.
ReplyDeleteHe is one amazing fella. Their beaks always look cumbersome to me.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos -they're such marvelous birds!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning on photos, love your need to stand closer.

ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous, Carole, and that beak is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm right there! Great photos! I love the one at the end, with his big "mouth" open!!!

Fabulous photos Carole and at the risk of repeating myself, your Australian Pelicans are very striking in their coloring, really magnificent :)

I could watch pelicans for hours - and have done so!
