Australian Pelican

Description:

The Australian Pelican is "medium-sized by pelican standards[...]The pale, pinkish bill is enormous, even by pelican standards, and is the largest bill in the avian world.[...]It has the largest bill of any bird. Overall, the Australian pelican is predominantly white in colour. There is a white panel on the upper-wing and a white-V on the rump set against black along the primaries. [...]The non-breeding adult has its bill and eye-ring a pale yellow and the pouch is a pale pinkish. [...]Overall, their appearance is somewhat similar to several other pelicans, though the species is allopatric." (Wiki)

Habitat:

This lovely Pelican was swimming around lazily, having a feed at Gordonbrook Dam, near Kingaroy. "Gordonbrook Dam is the sole water supply for Kingaroy.[.....] The dam provides a haven for over 100 different species of birds." (https://www.queensland.com/en-au/attract... )
