Pelican flypast

G'day all

My pre-brekky morning walk today was a short one as it was threatening to rain - overcast and not very exciting unless you were a water bird!  However, I managed to grab several pelicans as they headed for a free feed at the local boat ramp or glided past having given up on a freebie

1) this bloke had had enough - 2 shots of his / its departure

2) #2 of 2

3) another hopeful coming in to land / splashdown

typical exif .... Panny FZ-2500; 1/2000s x F4,5 [max aperture]; lens at 20x zoom / 480mm FFequiv; ISO-400

As always, feedback welcome

These guys seem to have huge eyes…
never really noticed that before!

No chance to meet them here, in CE!

Light is free… capturing it is not!
