A wonderful bird is a Pelican

A wonderful bird is a Pelican (Pelicanus conspicillatus)

A wonderful bird is a Pelican
His bill can hold more than his belican
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week
But I'm dammed if I can see how the helican

LOL Ken... it's a long time since I've heard that poem - it's great fun, isn't it. Thanks.

A super picture you've got of this guy - very well done laddie.
 
I've always liked that limerick, Ken - thanks for the chuckle! A fantastic flight shot.
 
Sorry have not commented lately, but had major computer problems. Terrific captures Ken, very well done!!
Dick.
 
Excellent capture Ken, and limerick - takes me back (quite a way!). Really strange looking bird, almost cartoonish with that eye.
