Fun under the bridge.....!!
Just as I was making my way under the Canning Bridge that I posted yesterday I spotted this pelican sailing so gracefully for such a big bird through the wooden pylons, he maneuvered his way in, through and out the other side! When I asked the two young girls what they were searching for at the edge of the water they told me they were catching hermit crabs to use for bait and the two lads were fishing for 'black finned bream'. They did catch one while I was watching, but the young angler looked up at me as he was gently taking the hook out of it's mouth and said "it's a female, with eggs, got to do the right thing" and he put her back in the water, completely restoring my faith in young people all over again....!!

ReplyDeleteNice shots grace. The b&w works very well for the pelican.

Nicely done... sometimes it is a wonder large birds don't crash more, but they maneuver like they aren't!
ReplyDeleteGood shots.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the young fishermen were doing the right thing. The photo of the Pelican is great framed underneath the pier. Nice one Grace.
ReplyDeleteGreat !

My husband has fetched some great mussells from that bridge in the past. Also seen many a dolphin as we walked by the river. We used to live close by. Fiona
ReplyDeleteAwwww. Maybe kids these days aren't so bad after all.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these, but particularly the first and fourth photos.
I love your shot of the pelican. They are such beautiful birds. My faith in the youth of Australia has been restored. :)
ReplyDeletewas so heartening to learn that!
ReplyDeleteLove the pelican..
ReplyDeleteIs it true that what happens under the bridge stays under the bridge? :-)
ReplyDeleteLike the pelican ... very different from our brown ones. Much prettier!
