Pelican - love bite?

[Barr1e]

This couple shared each others company for some five minutes or so. Due to the many people wanting to take pix of them I was pleased to get a few snatched shots.

Taken in St. Jame's Park London last weekend.



Canon G11

We visited St. Jame's Park not knowing they were there. I'll try and find another pic.

Here is another, again shot with the Canon G11.



So friendly. Obviously used to us humans - was a little nervous of children though.

Aaaah bless ... that's a delightful picture. It's also sweet to note its feet up on the bench (first picci).

Thanks for these. They're wonderful.

Yeah, I didn't see any when we were there last fall.
It's nice to see it so comfortable around people. I just hope that it doesn't lead to it's demise.
