Grounded

I am still posting photos taken last Saturday during our gale force winds.

As you can see even the pelicans and gulls were grounded due to the high winds.

As I was taking this photo at Little Beach a pelican tried to land behind me and nearly landed on my head.

I have had a medical appointment in Newcastle today and only just got home so I will try and catch up on your photos this evening.

Wind at the beach is so spectacular. These are chubby little fellows, all fattened up for Winter!

Great shot. I like to watch the sea when it is rough. The pelicans look like they are doing well with their food catches.

Oh no - a pelican landing on your head could’ve been somewhat uncomfortable!

They were very sensible staying put on the boat ramp and sand in such strong winds.

Oh wow- that would have been some landing! I love how the closest one seems to be eyeing you up but secretly.

All the birds are tucked in on the beach. Cool view of them.
