Captured at The Entrance, NSW, on a Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. These two were so graceful as they silently glided past!

The close formation flying is a piece of cake!! The real skill is required for landing!!

  This is terrific, Phil. All of the images are superb, but the one you entered is a winner!

  Phil, I love the grace of the pelican "formation" you captured so perfectly here, especially after seeing your "chaos of landing" shot! :-D
Looks like a winner to me!

  Yes, they look so graceful in the air, but their landing was a bit of a mess! Ha! Ha! Love all three images, but the one you entered is a winner! Your timing was impeccable! Are you sure you didn't clone one to make two? Well, that'd be a feat in itself! LOL! Beautiful capture, Phil! :)

  A well timed set of images. I think you'd like it at South West Rocks Caravan Park, the Pelicans come in to the fish cleaning stand & put on a very good show.
