#1 - The flock of white birds on the left, could they be great white pelicans? Sorry for the bad quality we were quite high up as it wasn't a scenic flight. I think there are several Marabou storks scattered around for size comparison.

#2 - Is this an African rail, Allen's gallinule or Black crake?

White goats with aqualungs and flippers?

Great white Pelicans do fish in flocks and drive the fish to the shore, where it is easier to scoop them up.

Haha pelicans may be a little more exciting than goats. Thanks for your help guys
