Dalmatian Pelican photography (Pelecanus crispus)

The breeding season of Dalmatian Pelican approaches. Can't wait to see and photograph these amazing birds again.
It is a shame that these birds are still killed for people to make bags from the birds' pouches. I suppose this could be a reason for the very high conservation priority status of the species.
Thanks to www.LivingNature.bg for organising this pelican photography trip.

Sorry Dancho I had to laugh when I saw his head... what a crazy crest he has.

A super picture you've got of him - very well done lad.

How shocking about the bags; such a fabulous study of this lovely bird, Dancho!

This is just exquisite Dancho. Such beautiful birds and it's so sad to hear of the killing for such a stupid reason.
