Australian Pelican

Australian Pelican

In Australia we only have one species of pelican, as shown in the photo above. It is the Australian Pelican and it is a widespread bird species throughout the country, wherever suitable habitat occurs - such as rivers, swamps, lagoons, lakes, estuaries and sometimes the open sea near to shore.

Although they can sometimes seen on small groups or even just one or two, they can also be found in loose flocks of many dozens, especially if the fishing is good.
