Pelicans are fun birds to photograph. I used to have plenty around when I lived on the central coast of NSW - the pelican feeding at The Entrance is a must-see.
The pelicans in Australia seemed so much bigger than others I had seen. I am never ceased to be amazed at the wonders of the natural world. I can't work out how to get a paper aeroplane to fly!
such heavy-bodied birds to attain flight. :)

ReplyDeleteIndeed. It's amazing how these birds attain flight. Quick fingers to capture these beautiful shots while the birds are flying.

Mr. and Mrs Pelican look to be flying in perfect formation. They are so big. It is amazing how they can fly. Their bills are so impressive.
ReplyDeleteThey look graceful in flight, but I'll bet they expend a lot of energy to get off the ground!
ReplyDeleteNice captures of the pelicans in flight!
ReplyDeleteThey look so great. Wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteYou would think their beaks would make them top heavy but in fact they seem perfectly balanced. Nature has its way. Have a good weekend Diane

ReplyDeleteLove the pelicans in flight, great captures. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures Stewart!:) These miniture Jumbo jets must have great strength in their wings. I wish I could see them taking off.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end!

I used to have such VIVID dreams about flying. Haven't had one in a long time, but my eyes still follow the birds with envy.
ReplyDeleteI too find the Pelican's ability to fly quite remarkable!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots Stewart..They are huge birds..I guess their wings are strong and big enough to do the job!!! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures! We sometimes have pelicans stop on a nearby marsh when they are migrating. Amazing birds to see.
ReplyDeleteNice photos! I love watching pelicans soar just above the water. They have a pretty large wingspan which must help keep all that size in the air.
