PELICAN MACRO.
This is my entry for Daily Photography Contest: Theme: Macro Photography, curated and sponsored by and
.
Even though I watched him do it, I still don't know how this beautiful pelican managed to turn his head in the opposite direction to where it was a few seconds earlier and tuck his huge bill into his feathers until it was no longer visible.
I positioned myself on the jetty above him, hoping I wouldn't disturb him enough to fly away but he was looking rather sleepy and thankfully he remained exactly where he was so that I could take a few shots.
And just before he closed those big brown eyes of his, I was able to get a photo of them wide open. What a treat that was!
