Visited our local wetlands recently and was surprised to find them drained.
Evidently the European Carp (introduced by some idiot) had become a problem and this was the best way of getting rid of them.
Pelicans had moved in and were having a feast.
Pelican Duo.
Pelican feeding.
Satisfied Pelican Trio.
Ha ha.... good on the pelicans. They can eat to their hearts content! ( Hope they don't find out that carp are bad for them or something awful!)

Nice pics and a great story on the demise of those terrible pests.

HI LYN
As long as the in the end the birds come back.
The local swamps here are dry and no birds at all.
smeedingo - They are about to refill the wetlands soon - I am sure the birds will return - they seem to know where water is.
I will re-visit to see what is happening.
