Pelican at Healesville Sanctuary Australia A pelican is a large water bird with a distinctive pouch under the beak, belonging to the bird family Pelecanidae. Along with the darters, cormorants, gannets, boobies, frigatebirds, and tropicbirds, pelicans make up the order Pelecaniformes. Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica. They occur mostly in warm regions, though breeding ranges reach 45° south (Australian Pelican, P. conspicillatus) and 60° North (American White Pelicans, P. erythrorhynchos, in western Canada).[1] Birds of inland and coastal waters, they are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands, and inland South America.

This fine head study of a Pelecanus conspicillatus (Australian Pelican) , was made along the Fisherman’s Moorings on the Hastings River in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, late on an autumn afternoon. As he swam up and down the line of fishermen hoping for a hand-out, he turned on the water to be at a diagonal to the low afternoon sunlight and the light reflected off the ripples in the water, giving this wonderful light and shadow affect along the beak, neck and body.

I spotted this gliding Pelecanus conspicillatus (Australian Pelican) while on a stroll along the south bank of the Hastings River in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia on a wonderful autumn afternoon. The light was wonderful and I waited patiently for the pelican to float into the right spot for a good composition with the buoy, taking full advantage of the direction of the light. The only thing special about making the shot was that I used a 1/500sec Shutter Speed to combat the glare rather than for freezing the action. The resultant high resolution .jpg image was good enough for very minimal processing in Photoshop CS. A little Dodging on the bird and buoy was the main task.

I caught this sleepy Pelecanus conspicillatus (Australian Pelican) a late autumn afternoon while on a stroll along the Fisherman’s Moorings, beside the Hastings River in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia. This bird must have had a good bellyful of fish to be asleep at 4:15pm! Even though it was almost winter, the lowering sun was very bright and the sky very glary so I screwed on my Circular Polarising Filter for this shot. The tree on out left is a Casuarina equisetifolia (Horse-tail She Oak) that I purposely left out of focus to help the Pelican-on-a-pole be more dominant in such a large frame.

Pelican at Stony Point, Victoria, Australia. The Australian Pelican Pelecanus conspicillatus is found throughout Australia, Papua New Guinea and western Indonesia, with occasional reports in New Zealand and various western Pacific islands. In Australia it is widespread on freshwater, estuarine and marine wetlands and waterways including lakes, swamps, rivers, coastal islands and shores. / Pelicans are highly mobile, searching out suitable areas of water and an adequate supply of food. Pelicans are not capable of sustained flapping flight, but can remain in the air for 24 hours,covering hundreds of kilometres. They are excellent soarers and can use thermals to rise to considerable altitudes. Flight at 1,000m is common, and heights of 3 000 m have been recorded. By moving from one thermal to the next, pelicans can travel long distances with a minimum of effort, reaching air speeds of up to 56 km/hour. Panasonic FZ20

INTRODUCTION: / I have come to love this perfectly plump Pelecanus conspicillatus (Australian Pelican) who I have nicknamed “Shortie”, sitting stoically on his rock on a miserable winter day. / He has been the first thing I saw every time I went into my backlog of photographs made with my old workhorse the Fuji S5500 and he has grown on me since June 2006. / When I first saw him I thought he may be a sub-species of native Pelican – the Short-necked Pelican perhaps but soon realised that he had simply pulled his neck in as many of us human beings should do – myself included. / I know he is only a “bird-on-a-rock” but what a birdie he is and I feel it is time he was introduced to the world! THE PHOTOGRAPH: / The photograph was made on the breakwater at North Haven , NSW, Australia, just a thirty minute drive south of Port Macquarie . Mr Fuji was set to high resolution jpg, (as I did back then) and spot metering and had a circular polarizing filter on the end of his lens. The weather, the filter and the metering ensured I got a perfect exposure for the plumage. A Brag: / The only sharpening done to this photograph was what Mr Fuji did when it made the jpg image. This is a good advert for Fuji cameras as well as a self pat on the back for an extremely good, steady hand held shot. Fuji S5500: f/3.1 @ 1/1000sec, ISO 100. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3 for the most minimal of tweaking. Visit the Aussie Birds collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fine feathered friends.

This sombre trio of Pelecanus conspicillatus (Australian Pelicans) , gliding over the water in formation, was photographed from the wharf at the marina in Crowdy Head , near Harrington, NSW, Australia, on a beautiful sunny winter afternoon. The spot metering had given me a very nice under exposure that kept the white feather detail very well and after processing the original colour image I could see the possibility of a B&W in this. I was spending the day with a camera club mate on a day trip south of Port Macquarie and we spent some time scouring the wharf for anything with a maritime theme. Fuji S9600: 1/1000sec @ f/8, Auto Focus, hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3 with a good B&W conversion.
