Australian pelican        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Australian pelicans are typical pelicans in all respects: big, social waterbirds with huge scooplike bills.   They are common along the coast, but can also be found far inland if there is fish-bearing water available.   These birds were photographed at Wollongong, on the coast of New South Wales.
