Its beak can hold more than its belly can
Pelicans love fish. They’re very fish-motivated. They’re also quite fish-competitive.
These three Dalmatian Pelicans are in a fish-battle for fish-supremacy. Only one can be the fish-winner. Which one do you think was successful in pouching it from the others? Yes, that says ‘pouching’, as in the verb ‘to pouch’.
I’ve been to Lake Kerkini in Greece and photographed the Pelicans. Expect more, many more.
Do subscribe to my emails if you would like to have more Pelicans and fish in your life.
