Pelicans at Valparaiso Fish Markets_MG_1268 360 resized

Recently I made a couple of photo book, using pictures taken during our stay in Valparaiso. I used this photo as the cover on one of them.

 

Unfortunately, the hand of man is present in this shot. However, some of the nature competitions have relaxed that stipulation for entries into some nature competitions.

 

From what we saw, it's evident that this is part of the birds' daily routine when the fishermen are cleaning fish.

 

Whilst I'm at it, the roof was sloping so this photo is straight!

 

I think, most of all, I love the differences in their feather patterns. The colours are so different from those seen on our local pelicans and that drew me to them in the first instance.
