Pelicans

I went with a friend to Colleges Crossing, a waterway near my home. I had been there the day before, and got some good egret and heron shots, but today someone was smiling at me. As it was my birthday, I would like to think it was my mum! After all, it is thanks to her that I have the camera gear that I do. Anyway, the plan was to shoot the egret from a different angle to the day before, when this pelican flew in, and filled my frame. A mad scramble to move myself back so I would have a little bit of space, and then the fun began. The sun was going down, and created that lovely afternoon light, and the pelican decided to have a quick clean. These would have to be my best pelican shots to date.
