High flyover (Pelecanus conspicillatus)

We were now wandering along towards the carpark when a pair of Australian Pelicans flew over. A bit of a rushed short, so it's not great, sorry.

Been a bit of a day, ending up on yet more pills! Also some ointment for my feet, which seem to be suffering because the nerves to them aren't working properly.
