Australian Pelican
These pelicans were patiently waiting outside the Sydney Fish Market to see if they could glean some tasty treats
Australian pelicans are one of the largest flying birds. They feature a wingspan of 2.3 to 2.5 m and can weigh from 4 to 6.8 kg. They have the longest bill length of any extant bird ranging from 36 to cm. The average bill length of males is between 42 and 46 cm and in females from 36 to 41 cm.
Their distinctive large pink bill and black wings make them a striking looking bird
The gular pouch, under the bill, will stretch when it is filled with water and can hold up to three gallons.
Leopard in the wild
This was such a beautiful specimen at the height of good health and magnificence. We came across him stretched out on a log, in the sunshine, in the Kruger National Park.
Lazy Leopard
It was so wonderful to watch this lazy leopard, sharpening his claws and yawning as he lazed on this log.
Seagull Scaring a Moorhen
This was such a funny scene, the Moorhen was just minding its own business when this Seagull managed to give it such a fright.
Masked Lapwing
These birds look so strange with their bright yellow masks.
Duck With An Attitude
This crazy Pacific Black Duck just wanted to be king of the pond and he was warning everyone, loud and clear, to keep away. What a big mouth :)
Red-Capped Lark
A handsome Red-capped Lark that we came across in the agricultural lands.
So Hot That Pelicans Are Drinking In Flight
It has been so hot that the Pelicans were dipping into the water for a drink while they were in flight.
