Pelican

At present we are in a 5 km range lockdown but luckily as we only live a couple of hundred metres from the beach we can still have nice walks locally.

Last night as I walked around the marina I spotted this pelican on the breakwater watching the setting sun. Luckily he was quite happy to pose for me.

Luckily they are used to people being around and wasn't aggressive at all. I think they are used to people fishing on the breakwater and giving them odd bits of fish.

@golftragic Hello, we are in lockdown again too. Will email you soon. We have had quite an eventful year.
