Playing in the mud

This pelican, if you look closely has got rather a dirty beak. He was waiting the fisherman to throw him some fish and he has seaweed and soil on his beak from previous catches of fish.

@huvesaker @munkoyey @tracelee @yaorenliu @888rachel @hermann @leestevo @debilz @joeyc @taffy @cljs @anazad511 Thank you all so much and thanks for the fav's. I am on a bit of catch up at the moment as I want to spend the time checking out your photos.
This pelican was standing next to a fisherman who was gutting his fish and everytime he threw some bits of fish for the pelicans each one opened their mouth. It looked so funny. There must have been about 20 pelicans here.

@caroline11820 Thanks for dropping by Caroline. We get so many pelicans here living by the ocean and they are so tame.

@elaine55 I agree, they always make me smile. I saw one a few days ago which had just swallowed a fish and his neck looked awful. Didn't manage to get a decent shot of it though.

wow.... look at the size of that mouth...lol! Great shot!!
