A wonderful bird is the Pelican
His beak can hold more than his belly can
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'll be darned if I know how the hellican

Showing off its wing feathers in Metung

Immediately after this shot, it dived into the water below and caught a bream.

Two quick shakes and a swallow. (be nice 🤭)

I still use my LumixFZ18, it lives in my bicycle pannier.

Apart from the focus being a bit laggy, the camera produces some really excellent RAW images.
