Description
The Melbourne Zoo has a large resident Pelican population. The strange thing is that they are all free to fly away at any time.....but they never do because of the endless supply of fresh fish! They do make quick flights to the beach to catch some fish, but then come straight back for a second meal! We have a similar group at out local jetty.

I imagine he is pondering the one that got away, like every fisherman, great shot!
Can he catch fish? The helican! LOL Like the pose and his at ease look.
Hey, I can't say as I blame these guys, LOL! Endless food, safe area, they've got it made!!! Nice capture! Interesting birds!

Clever blokes if you ask me. Outstanding capture of such eager fishermen.
they are strange looking birds and they are our state bird too. wonderful shot
Beautiful capture. Don't get to see them resting. Dana
The Pelican, the pelican, his beak can hold more than his belly can.
He is a great deal more attractive than some of the human fishermen at our river.
