Pelican at Blackpool Zoo
Eastern White Pelicans (Pelecanus ononcrotalus) live in large colonies with up to 50,000 pairs. They spend the early hours of the morning fishing until about 9am. The rest of the day is spent preening, bathing and resting.
I came across these a year ago but have only just now got round to sorting through the photographs.
