Australian Pelican
(Pelecanus conspicillatus)
Coming in for a landing.
I Know what you are thinking, I have a big mouth.
I know there is food here somewhere
Maybe not
Might be worth another look.
I'm sure I saw something.
I think I've got it.
Down the hatch.

A great series of action photos!
Really great series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I love pelicans! A terrific series of shots, love the one with his big mouth open!
Great series on the Pelican. I love the mouth wide open shot!
A fun series and the back-lit beak is a blast!
Fantastic photos.
What fun -- you were patient to watch the whole episode as this lovely guy found and disposed of breakfast! My mother, who was really rather proper, loved to recite the old rhyme about the pelican (with the sort of swear-word at the end) making my little brother and me roar with laughter at her. The open beak pictures reminded me of that!
Nice series of photos.
oh, that is cute! :)
A wonderful series!
The 'big mouth' shot is terrific!
Great shots of the bird in action.
What a great series! Your photos made me smile.
Nice series of a bird I never seen IRL.
Have a great weekend! Greetings Pia
Wonderful series of images, Neil! I particularly like the ones which show just how big and flexible that lower bill is.
That's an efficient way to get a meal Neil.Like your pictures.
These birds are always a showstopper! Nice pics!
Yes they are funny to watch ... a great post.
o dear, what a great serie of shots! Love to see it all, the big mouth and the movements. .)
They are comical looking birds - but I almost always photograph them!
