Taken on the Nicholson River, Nicholson… A whole flock of them came in for a feed from the local fishermans days catch… greedy buggers they are ….

I wonder who Ian Lloyd is, this is a rework of an old image
The regular diet of a Pelican usually consists of fish, but they also eat amphibians, crustaceans and on some occasions, smaller birds.They often catch fish by expanding the throat pouch. Then they must drain the pouch above the surface before they can swallow. This operation takes up to a minute, during which time other seabirds are particularly likely to steal the fish. The white pelicans often fish in groups. They will form a line to chase schools of small fish into shallow water, and then simply scoop them up. Large fish are caught with the bill-tip, then tossed up in the air to be caught and slid into the gullet head first.

What a peaceful and serene image this is… that is until the ducks became very noisy when we didn’t feed them. Taken with my Canon 40 DSLR at the Botanic Gardens near Campbelltown NSW

What a fisherman he was.. He and his wife would spend every free moment out on the lake fishing.. He owned and operated a Fish and Tackle shop just to stay in the loop with all the worms and hooks !!

This is an image of a fish on a 5 dollar Caribbean bill, taken at high magnification. The bill in it’s entirety is quite colorful, and this small piece that was captured focuses on the purple, green and blue lines making up the image of a fish.
