I went for a walk at Little Beach this morning and because we are in lockdown again fishermen who usually gut their fish at the station near the boat ramp aren't there at the moment.
The fishermen usually throw their offcuts for the pelicans but, of course, the pelicans have to catch their own fish now.
This pelican was hopeful I was going to throw a fish for him as I walked past. Sadly he was disappointed.
Ha ha ! " Oh , grandma , what big mouth you have got !" What a great capture , love that eye I hope you kept out of the reach of that big gaping void ! Has put a smile on my face this damp drizzly morning ! fav
He is laughing! And so am I now 🤣 Loved your Red Arrows memories. The Young Fella did an RAF Cadet Camp at Valley so we know the site and could picture it.
@casablanca I loved our time at Valley. I was there 4 years. David was there 3 years and then did a year in Gan in the Maldives and I stayed at Valley until he returned.
@phil_sandford Yes I remember a pelican at Paphos, in fact I have a few photos of it too. I think pelicans can live up to 25 years and we were in Cyprus between 1983 and 1986, don't know when you were there but maybe it was the same pelican.
