A few more possible entries

[Striker]

I'm up for it....but they better be good.

I'm happy to officiate on Pelican pics just as long as we dont start a mangrove or surfy thread of the same nature.

Thanks for nominating me Houghy:thanks: ...I owe you one:mad: ....lol

[acropolite]

I don't have any "posed" pelican shots, just some good ole feeding shots from Ansons Bay Tasmania in March this year......and if you look carefully you can even see a flying fish.....:P

[Striker]

Tip,
I will be looking for something more from left field..something different then just a straight out pelican shot..but who knows you could still win.

Good luck

[h0ughy]

no worries Tony, I realised just how much you love those feathered friends of yours;) so I though what a wonderful thing to do, a full tribute thread four you:whistle: :rofl:

[sheeny]

No chance of seeing any pelicans for me before the 8th, so it's a case of rummaging through the files...
