Large black and white bird with massive bill!

Wetlands, lakes, swamps, rivers, coastal islands and shores.

My first reference for identification: The Michael Morcombe eGuide to Australian Birds, Mobile App. This was the first time I had seen a squadron of pelicans in flight. Before I had seen one or two birds so this was pretty special :)
