Pelicans

Today, while we were on the Sunday walk with my family I have noticed the pelican's skin pouches were exteremly vivid in colours. To my recollection these are usually lightly pink. They were quite far from us and it took a while for a pair of them to come within useable range of my lens.

I also noticed they waved the pouches in an unusual way.

Thanks Andy
I like them too. They are here in abundance on Central Coast of NSW. There is something special about the colours of this group. It could be a different species or they are in "love" plumage.

The contrasts really make the pelicans stand out in this shot, they really pop. Very nice Ted!

Thanks GREAPER and MuskyDude
I'm glad you've enjoyed the picture. I'm not a "bird man" so when they pop like just from f707 it feels special.
