It was beautifully set up for me. I just had to stand there and click away.

Seagulls aren't renowned for being polite.

Pelican itch is pretty unpleasant. Don't go swimming in the Myall Lakes or at Forster then.

Forster is gorgeous. . . Hawsnest is OK. I haven't stumbled on any rotting dolphins yet.

I walked out to the hill that's joined by sand at the end of the beach once and the whole beach area was covering in a metre high mass of rotting seaweed. It was putrid in the extreme.

Hawksnest has often had a bad smell about it. . . You might remember our PM used to holiday there regularly.

Nice shot. Was this a shot you had to pull off quickly or was it sitting there for a while basicly posing for you.

Thanks. I took a sequence of shots. This went on for at least 30 seconds.

I don't know that pelicans are nest-scavengers, although . . . Little birds here go berserk at the sight of currawongs (nest-stealers) and channel-bill cuckoos (you know what they do). . . Quite understandable righteous indignation.

It's a good thing people aren't territorial like that.

Look at the pelican's beak. It's massive. The gull obviously just feels insecure. And that's only compounded by how confident the pelican is of its formidable.... tool. It's 10 times easier to catch fish with a... tool... like that. Gull's got beak envy.
