One over cast and drizzly day, Mark and I headed to Redcliffe to capture some pelicans. They have always amazed me and that afternoon, they didn't let me down. We managed to wake a sleeping pelican and he then proceeded to grunt and bark and stretch, just like a human when they wake. Then as he streched his beak, it actually looked like someone put a stocking over his head...... It was so wierd. I did manage to get a photo of it and am only adding it to this post simply for those curious to see what I mean. Kinda makes me a little ill to look at it for too long. The others however are lovely and normal!
See what I mean...... doesn't even look like a pelican! The last photo is him after he stretched and you can see his all 'flappy' around the neck and chin I guess you could say. Or just his mouth......
Such big and beautiful birds but they always look like they are planning something to me!! Like the perfect time to poop so it lands on someones head! Hehe :)
