There must be something special about this tree! Either that or the birds were just enjoying watching the nice sunset.

Pelican (2785)
This is a photograph of a Pelican at Streaky Bay in South Australia.
I like to call this "heavy liftoff" of obvious reasons - pelican lift-off with dust being swept out from underneath. Just like a 747, this pelican looks far too big and awkward to fly!

Painted Button-quail
This is a photo of the Painted Button-quail in Dryandra, Western Australia.

Ground dwelling birds they make only short flight, which they unfortunately did to get away from me.
Given more time, they would be a relatively easy photographic target, so hopefully I will com
