Description
Namibia 2010
On our last day on the beach, we witnessed how a pelican attacked a gull! I shot this image just before the pelican swallowed the victim! *straight face*
That is not entirely true but it does sound so much better than the real version of the story! LOL... We were simply feeding all the left over bait to the birds and the pelican and gull were going for the same piece! If you look carefully, you can see the bait (small fish) just in front of the gull! I just love how the image turned out!
Thank you for your kind comments and favs on my image "sand and Sea" that I posted yesterday!
Stay well!
Hugs, Carin xx

Great action shot Carin. I did see a pelican swallow a live pigeon recently and thought of PJ. The dark side of mother nature. Dana
wysiwig - the gull won!!! LOL... They are so agile that the poor peli did not have a chance! It was great fun to watch though!!
OH Yes, this is a great photo, Carin. You have really done a fabulous job. I love it.
The gulls usually win that race!
That's not a happy Pelican! Brilliantly timed shot.. Really well done, Carin.. Rob
Well done Carin! Great action shot! Clive

Wonderful capture! Is really cool how you get such good shots!
lol..what a happy image? I love the wide open mouth!
loool it definitly looks like the pelican would swallow the seagull, what a great shot!
The day when you posted it, I've been waiting for about 30 mins to see it opened, but the net just refused to show me the picture! That's an amazing capture, Carin... very good timing on this one!
WOW ! A great and fantastic work, dear Carin !!!! 5+ Hugs Karin :)
