  2. They are such fun to watch! To get some wonderful marsh and pelican shots, go to the Pitt Street bridge walkway in Mount Pleasant. We spent much time and enjoyable yet windy walks there with our dog during our recent visit there.

  11. Fantastic!! I really like pelicans... it was amazing to see a colony of them in the wild (somewhere in the Danube Delta).

  13. Great composition and tones; the pelican looks like a sculpture which 'marks' the start of the footbridge ...
