Nothing can like a pelican can!

2007.07.27
Three musketeers, three amigos, three Stooges... three whatever!

Getting ready for a night on the town

These are the resident pelicans in St. James' Park in central London. They were first introduced here in 1664 as a gift to King Charles II from the Russian Ambassador - these aren't the original ones!

By the way - they have been known to eat pigeons! Pelicans rock!

dweiskir Now if you could just get us a shot of a pelican eating a pigeon, you would be my hero for life.

giulicrevatin The first one is my favorite: black background, water reflections, pelicans posisiton.
You're so lucky to live where there are so many different aspects to catch ... with a camera.

longimanus Before you open this post, the first shot looks like a painting... It is really one of my favourites, especially the exposure makes it special, strong contrasts... the birds are shining through the dark surrounding! THe cool trio... great!

Yanko Wow! Great shots!
