Flying start (#1 in “Lake Monger, 01.01.22” series)

 

 

Pelican Yoga begins 2022 with a series of single-image posts.

All photos feature waterbirds, and they all were taken at “our” local lake on the first late afternoon and early evening of 2022.

At the moment fish are proliferating (as are algae), so pelican numbers at Lake Monger are much higher than usual.

Photo is copyright Doug Spencer, taken on western side of Lake Monger at 7.04 pm on New Year’s Day.

Pelicanus conspicillatus – the Australian Pelican – is undoubtedly this series’ star species, but is not its only waterbird.

Tomorrow’s post is the first of two to feature Australia’s largest white heron species.
