Six pelicans
It may be hard (impossible?) to tell, but the six Australian Pelicans above are not the same six as in the feature photo. I photographed these birds on 3 April at The Entrance, which is on the Central Coast north of Sydney.
And, this fits very neatly into “Birds seen in the past two weeks“
Love both the photos!

My first sighting of pelicans was on the waterway where I lived in Cape Town. I looked out of the window and saw these two massive birds floating past my house. I was totally gobsmacked, they were so BIG!

They truly are huge. And so ungainly when they take off or land!

Our California pelicans are smaller than these. They’re awkward fliers also 🤣

These ones sort of remind me of ostriches — not their size (!) but the combination of black and white feathers.

Love these photos! Glad to see you back Karen! Pelicans are my favorite bird and you have captured them beautifully. How odd you saw a grouping of 6 twice. So fun! LOL! 🙂

There are hundreds of pelicans in that area, so I probably saw more than two groups of six, if I’d noticed at the time.
