On the weekend I ventured down to the Swan River, and found a dozen Australian Pelicans. This guy had just leapt out of the water, beginning his search for some mid-morning breakfast.

The Australian Pelican is a fascinating bird, which claims to have the longest bill of any living bird.
Commonly having a wingspan of 2.3-2.6 metres, these birds glide through the air almost effortlessly.
