A large Australian Pelican with white and dark brown plumage sits on a wooden railing of a pier, facing left.

The bird's long beak is visible. The water behind the railing is a clear, bright turquoise-blue under a lighter blue sky.

Seven Pelicans on the lake this morning at work.

Pretty impressive for a lake with no fish in it.

A scene shot over a portion of a lake. In the mid-ground, there are four large black and white pelicans sitting on a log. A fifth one swims towards them from the left. In the background, two more are perched on a submerged rock, and further back, on the short, three people walk past.

It did not take too long after the Kennington Reservoir in #Bendigo was refilled following dam reconstruction works for this #AustralianPelican to move in.

A peaceful scene at a lake with an Australian Pelican resting on a log in front of some tall grasses.

A pair of pelicans at work yesterday morning.

I like to think the first shot one is casting a spell, while in the second the other pelican shows genuine surprise.

Or it could just be singing Mnah Mnah...

Two pelicans standing on a submerged fence in a lake. The right hand one is caught mid-flap, with wings raised and the leading feathers extended forward like fingers.

Two pelicans standing on a submerged fence in a lake. The rear (left) one has its head towards the camera, bill open and pouch puffed out to maximum size. The right one faces left, bill closed and horizontal. Both have their black and white wings slightly raised off their bodies (airing them out).

Mr Percival the Pelican, just chillin' next to the lake this morning.

A large bird with a very large pink bill. It is, from the front, mostly white, but when viewed from the back it has black wings and tail. Its legs and webbed feet are a blue-grey in colour.

The bird is standing on a semi-submerged log on the edge of a lake that has algae on the surface. It is early morning, and the light is soft and not yet directly on the scene.

Pelicans are the most entertaining birds on the planet. Just watch for a while and they will always do something funny - like making comments on another Pelican's take off!

A photo of an Australian pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus). It's swimming and is a beautiful black and white bird with a huge pink beak. It has pretty yellow rings around its round, tender black eyes.

The front-on view of a pelican is particularly derp.

Australian pelican, Pelecanus conspicillatus. Despite being a medium-sized species of pelican it has the longest bill of any bird.

Two birds on a branch. The foreground on is paler in colour, being a browny-grey on top and dirty white underneath. It is smaller and has its beak open wide calling for food. The adult bird next to it, has a black head, grey wings and charcoal tail and is mostly ignoring the younger bird (as it has just been fed).

A large mostly white pelican with black and white wings, and a pink bill, standing on a rock behind some low reeds.

The ever unapproving stare of a Bush Stone-Curlew. It is standing in a garden bed, the ground is covered in twigs and dried heath-like leaves, of the same colour as the birds plumage.

The same pelican, but this time not obscured by reeds.
