Daily Photography Contest: 'Pelican Macro.'

PELICAN MACRO.

This is my entry for Daily Photography Contest: Theme: Macro Photography, curated and sponsored by @juliank and @photocontests.

Even though I watched him do it, I still don't know how this beautiful pelican managed to turn his head in the opposite direction to where it was a few seconds earlier and tuck his huge bill into his feathers until it was no longer visible.

I positioned myself on the jetty above him, hoping I wouldn't disturb him enough to fly away but he was looking rather sleepy and thankfully he remained exactly where he was so that I could take a few shots.

And just before he closed those big brown eyes of his, I was able to get a photo of them wide open. What a treat that was!

Check out Julian's other challenges.

I bet those feathers are a nice spot to tuck your nose and take a nap. It's a pretty bird.

It amazes me how flexible their necks are too, considering how big they are @marxrab I could watch pelicans for ages. Many thanks for your visit and support my friend.
