Very nicely done on all three of these group images, Peter. I like the diversity of landing poses in the first, the bit of comic relief from the one strange pose in the second and the nice neat line-up in the third.

I like all three, Peter. The detail is great. Perhaps the first is my favorite because I’m jealous of the nice detail in the landing pelicans-I usually don’t end up with shots this nice in similar situations. Is that a juvenile Mute Swan in the third image?

All three are very nice, but I, too, prefer the action in the first. We haven’t had white pelicans arrive here, yet, but they should be here soon with the warmer weather.

Hi Peter, I like the different flight poses in the first image and the line ups in the second and third. Always great to see these magnificent birds.
