Vik's Gallery:   Australian Pelican (3/4)

CICONIIFORMES: Pelecanidae

Pelecanus conspicillatus  

A variety of birds were excitedly following a school of small fish and getting in each other's way trying to feed.

Here, a Silver Gull finds its head in the bill of a pelican being swept through the water. No damage done, and when the Silver Gull emerged, it even had a small fish in its own bill.
