Anticipation by onewing

Anticipation

Friday People Day again and today I spotted this chap packing away his fishing gear at the breakwater. He had been gutting some of the fish he caught and the pelicans were waiting expectantly for some of the off cuts.

Oops! realized after I posted this that it isn't Friday after all. Will try again tomorrow for a people photo.

Not much hope for me this week.
Knew this was yours with all those Aussie pelicans

A super shot !! they are certainly hoping for some tasty morsels , but they all seem to be so well behaved while waiting -- no squabbling !!
May 28th, 2015  
All jostling for prime position! What an excellent bunch.

Great shot - what a wonderful opportunity to get a photo of all these pelicans.

The pelican audience is terrific! Such a great image to see the combination of man and birds.

I don't know why but I find them quite comical - this shot made me smile :)

@annied @gilbertwood @snoopybooboo @creampuff @basqgirl @beryl @888rachel @quietpurplehaze @sioux @beachdog @pippie @365projectorgchristinewebb @ziggy77 @hermann @gigiflower @onlyme111 @seattlite @susanalena @bkbinthecity @moviegal1 @salza @pcoulson @thistle @kwind @happypat @taffy @epcello @paulaw @kchuk @mittens Thanks everyone, just spotted that this is on the PP. Also realized after I posted this shot as my Friday People Day photo, that it wasn't Friday yesterday at all. I am getting ahead of myself. So this weeks Friday shot was on Thursday. Sad when the brain goes isn't it. ha ha.
I have had such a busy week that I have lost track of days. When I took this photo I thought it would be good for my Friday shot and while that thought was in my head the days got mixed up too.
The pelicans here are so well behaved. Probably don't fight so much because they are always so well fed. I often wonder if they pinch the fish off the fishermen's lines before they have chance to reel it in. Yes Sally @salza they are much better behaved than the seagulls.
May 29th, 2015  
Wonderful capture.
May 29th, 2015  
Great capture!
May 29th, 2015  
@onewing hahahaha oh the brain is a funny thing
May 29th, 2015  
@onewing meant to add - I didn't even realise and I am in the same time zone as you hahahahahaha
May 29th, 2015  
@annied I don't think there is any hope for either of us Annie. When I took this I thought this would be good for my Friday People photo and then because I was in a bit of a rush last night I posted it then instead of today. Been a busy week. I am having to sing Happy Birthday to remember what my name is at the moment ha ha.
May 29th, 2015  
@onewing hahahahahahaha I know the feeling - not overly busy for me atm so my brain is half working
May 29th, 2015  
Such dramatic birds! In the UK the shoreline scavengers are just seagulls.
May 29th, 2015  
@onewing

Babs, congrats on PP. It probably isn't much consolation (!) to you but I also sometimes have Fridays on Thursdays, or Saturdays on Fridays!!
May 29th, 2015  
@pixiemac Thanks Sarah. We do have some seagulls here, but nowhere near the amount that are in the UK.
May 29th, 2015  
@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel. It is probably because I am retired and this week has been very busy with things other than my usual routine. It doesn't take much to confuse me at the moment. I just need a few more hours in a day.
May 29th, 2015  
Nice capture Babs
May 29th, 2015  
WOW...love the people shot...and those pelicans are wonderful!!! FAB shot!
May 30th, 2015  
@terryliv @eyesmile Thank you both. I am amazed just how well behaved the pelicans were.
May 30th, 2015  
Great shot. It really tells a story.
May 30th, 2015  
Really like this. The beaks are such a delicate colour too.
May 30th, 2015  
Look at all those pelicans .
