And Mr. Pelican, your very presence amuses me!

Mr Pelican was actually looking down at me from a streetlight while I was taking the photo...

What! That's a real bird?

Scary.

What's scary is pelicans eating pigeons whole.

Yes, it's one of the few large predators that people will feel quite comfortable walking up to in the wild.

For values of "people" that include pigeons too, apparently.

Okay. I modify my comment. Very scary.

They really are enormous birds. Unfortunately, I made a beginner's mistake when I was photographing them, and forgot to check the camera settings before I started shooting. It was only later that I realised the shots were all in Tv mode at 1/90, and with a cheap, dark 300mm zoom, they all came out blurry.
