Very nice. I especially like the brown pelican. I'm quite partial to pelicans, although we only have the white ones where I live.
Thanks. These Spot billed Pelicans are very common here. This marshland is less than 3 miles from my home. There is a road adjoining to this lake and I am surprised that they still visit this place and move freely amidst heavy traffic and noise pollution. We can get a very close view when they cross the road flying low and very close to the top of the vehicles.
Doesn't look like our white pelicans. I've attached a picture of ours.

You are right. These are actually Great White Pelicans.

Thanks Candyman. I feel more on home turf with this lens, than with the UWA. And those first minutes after the sun rises does indeed give a very nice light.candyman said:Eldar said:

I am out 5:00 AM tomorrow morning and hope to catch some early birds with sunrise too. I first have to drive one hour but around 6:15 we have sunrise
I hope to have, like you, such a nice catch too!
Lovely bird and nice pose

Lovely! I hope it is in your garden. Then we could possibly see a whole load of pics as the chicks grow.
Unfortunately not in my backyard but I will post a few more if there is interest.
