Pelican Grooming
I did get a shot of one in flight as it passed overhead. But I can’t find it now. Ok, enough about the one that got away.
Down by the island ferry terminal to Coochiemudlo, these pelicans do show up and roost on top of very tall lamp posts and power poles.
I’m not there often enough to get more than the lazy part of the day, as they preen themselves, keeping their cloth in the best of nick for their daily doings.
It’s a common enough scene in nature, from the smallest to the biggest, they tend to their best functioning by preening etc, which tends to their appearance.
Not unlike us … Ok, maybe not all of us, all the time …
