Waiting

It has been a long day today. We were out with the walking group this morning, then out for lunch and I was intending having a quiet late afternoon, but when we got home something cropped up and we had to drive to Newcastle. Only just got home.

Thanks so much again for the amazing response to yesterday's pelican photo. He was in a prime position on the breakwater next to the men fishing and ready to catch any throw away fish. Sorry I can't reply individually, but I want to catch up with photos this evening.

This bunch of pelicans were in the water by the breakwater and didn't fare so well with throw away bits of fish, too much competition. There were another three pelicans just out of the picture here but I couldn't get them all in this photo.
So cute pelicans!!!!!

@susiemc Thanks Sue, I just love pelicans, they are such characters.
November 3rd, 2016  
@julieco ha ha, they weren't very synchronised when the fish was thrown into the water I can tell you. It was a real free for all.
November 3rd, 2016  
@pcoulson Their routine went pear shaped when the fish was thrown in the water. It was every man for himself at that stage.

There was a lot of fighting and disappointment as the fisherman threw offcuts of fish for the pelicans.

How exciting that you got them all "lined up" for you.
November 4th, 2016  
How amazing they are, fav. I can see how chunky the bills are in this shot and the uniform colours of their feathers.
