Dalmation Pelican (+PiP)

Dalmation Pelican (+PiP)
Since last year WWT Arundel has introduced some Dalmation Pelicans to the reserve. Their new pond and surroundings are really lovely, but not very photography friendly. Unless the birds are on the water it is almost impossible to get a photo of one without a fence in the background. You'll note that their wings are clipped as well, which is obviously to stop them flying off........but such a shame :-(

There's another image in the PiP. Thanks for looking!

Outstanding capture Keith and a great job with the 100-400 too. Welney was a disappointment most of the over winter birds had left for their respective breeding grounds. If I were a Pelican I would find that quiet frustrating. Free but not free to leave.

A cross between a Dalmatian and a pelican! Who woulda thunk it? Science marches on.

And a great capture. Keith.

An extravagantly beautiful creature like a feathered seaplane. In any case, it looks like a photograph taken in its natural environment. Stay safe and healty Keith.
