Pelican shots
For today i want to share these shots of the pelicans i made at the Amersfoort Zoo. There is a great large pelican population who have a great habitat with a lot of green ground spots around a large pond where they can swim and fish (see this wednesdaywalk post). Besides that the animals have a nice large habitat there are also a lot of viewing points created so you can watch all the animals from different angels.
Hope you like these clicks.

Full shot One angry looking bird
Full shot No idea what this bird was doing but i am pleased that i got these shots of him blowing up it's "tongue"

Full shot And some more pelican clicks
It has become quite a large post this as many shots made from these birds turned out great and i didn't want to make a selection out of these shots.

Very nice shots, @tijntje 😊
The first photo with the close-up of the Pelican's head is especially cool.
Thank you so much @johannpiber. I also think that's a great shot therefore i made it the first shot in this post as an eye catcher 🙂
You're welcome @tijntje - this photo is really an eye catcher in the truest sense of the word.
Great shots of the Pelicans and their many stances. Love how they blow up their tongue. U&R
Thank you so much @redheadpei for your nice comment and U&R!

These are all very beautiful! How I wish I could do this, my shots are all shoddy.
I have also been featured in this @ocd edition, that's how I came across this entry of yours.
Thank you very much @owasco for your visit and comment. I have been on a workshop zoo animal photography where I got a lot of tips. And a mayor upgrade in my gear also helped. I have looked at your post about toothache after the mention but still have to read it proper, is on my to read list.
