Brisbane Australia

Wandered down to the Gold Coast today to check out the action. Sitting beside the Broadwater I was willing this friendly Pelican to actually do something. Fly would be good. I ended up snagging this one plus a whole series following on from here until the time he landed. AI servo mode, 10 pics in the burst.

They are so ugly that they're beautiful at the same time. Being a birder I really appreciate the shot. Nicely done.

nice John. I would do some local levels work to lighting up the bird a bit and bring out the detail, but it's a great catch. dawn

Very nice. Looks like the bird is frozen in time.
