Pelicans and flamingos, Lake Nakuru        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Lake Nakuru is a saline lake in the Rift Valley of east Africa, and is famous for its huge flocks of lesser flamingos, pelicans, cormorants, and many other birds. This picture shows African white pelicans, lesser flamingos, and a marabou stork (at left) gathered around the mouth of a freshwater stream, where they congregate to drink and bathe.
