    Strange looking birds but a nice picture Looks like a reflection lighting it or is it just that time ofday?
    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

      Early morning light with thin whispy clouds providing the light.

    Good one Kevin

    ... and to copy the real-estate jargon 'where one goes others will follow' ~ so keep your eyes peeled
    They are very large birds, and when coming in to land (ha ha -on water) with the brakes on, they are spectacular to see with all the flight feathers outstretched. A good case for 'continuous' + AFC mode!

    They are an unusual looking bird Kevin. I like the light and the pose and you got some good detail as well.

      He was very cooperative,had to back the Tammy off to around 400mm to get him in frame.

      Cheers Kevin. My Tammy only goes to 400mm so it would have been perfect. And yes, they are very obliging when it comes to posing.

    BeautifulI light on the pelican, and I like the way it is highlighted against the darker background. Sounds like there is some good activity at your lake.
