There is something uniquely appealing about pelicans.

He is one amazing fella. Their beaks always look cumbersome to me.

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

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.

Excellent Pelican photos, not a bird we get over in the UK so quite jealous

Helma said...

Carole really great!
We only see pelicans in the zoo and they fly with you in the great outdoors.
Wonderfull pictures.

Wally Jones said...

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

Great series, Carole! Definitely of our favorite birds around here with all our water.

Liz said...

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!
