Eyes too big for his belly

I took the 7D MK II and the Tamron 150-600 mm lens out yesterday when we went to visit Peter's Dad. I spotted this Pelican on the water with a fish tail hanging out of it's beak. When it came out of the water, I could see that it was a big fish which it seemed to have trouble swallowing. It went back into the water and kept sweeping it's beak under the water until it finally managed to get it down.
