Australian Pelican, Mallacoota, Victoria

On our evening walk around Mallacoota we saw several Australian Pelicans cruising around near the jetty. They seemed to be quite unafraid of humans.

Several fishermen were cleaning their catch nearby, so I guess they have become used to having leftovers thrown at them from the fishermen and so they hang around for a free handout.

It was just on sunset, and the last soft rays of the setting sun lit up these beautiful birds to show off their lovely markings.
