Le pélican se distingue par la forme de son bec, dont la mandibule supérieure, aplatie, se termine par un onglet crochu. La mandibule inférieure est quand à elle formée de deux prolongements osseux portant une large membrane en forme de sac.
Cette poche du pélican, outil particulièrement pratique, sert à beaucoup de choses. D'abord, c'est un récipient élastique pouvant contenir jusqu'à 13 litres d'eau. Ensuite, le pélican s'en sert comme d' un filet à poissons incomparable. Après avoir capturé sa proie, le pélican relève la tête et avale le fruit de sa pêche à mesure que la digestion s'effectue.

The pelican is characterized by the form from its nozzle, whose higher mandible, flattened, ends in a hooked mitre. The mandible lower when than it is made of two osseous prolongations carrying a broad membrane
in the shape of bag.
This pocket of the pelican, particularly practical tool, is used for many things. Initially, it is an elastic container being able to contain up to 13 liters of water. Then, the pelican makes use of it like incomparable fishing net.
After having captured its prey, the pelican raises the head and swallows the fruit of its fishing as digestion is carried out.

Hello Christian,
Great in flight capture of this lovely bird.
Excellent composition, exposure and sharpness.
The soft light, warm colors, sky and details in the feathers are most wonderful.
The frame you did put around the image fits wonderfully.
Perfect work. My compliments.
Thanks for sharing and the good note.
Best wishes and have a nice weekend,
Harry

A very sharp in-flight shot of this pelican, Christian.
Flying pelicans are such a joy to watch.
You captured this one in a great pose and from a great POV.
I like the position of the wings, and it gives an excellent view of the pelican's face.
