Pelicans are almost like ducks around these parts.
In any case shot this whilst waiting for birds of prey to show up.

80-400vr @400mmm sb800 and bb @ -1

I love Pelicans.....good framing and typically don't see wings in the upward thrust

"Pilot to Bombadier... it's all yours. That bloke's back with the big mother flash again."

Brilliant shots Steve. You da man.

actually simon the real pilot to bombardier story happened yesterday.

there were around 200 odd seaguls on the water when the large raptor started circling above. the gulls all took off in a panic and plenty of em were spraying stuff everywhere. they looked to be literally sh*tting emselves.

Those are awesome shots! They also remind me of a large flying warship.
