Any of you oldies remember this from your childhood?

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican. (or belly can)
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week,
But I’m damned if I see how the helican. (or hell he can)

Comments welcome

Great shot, Bob. I love the lovely clear sky as a background. The shot is beautiful and sharp, too. The colours of the bird, especially it's (special) bill seem a little subdued.

I really like this shot, it really makes the very large, and often ungainly looking pelican look quite graceful!

I remeber that ditty. I don't think I qualify as an oldie yet though. :cheers:

Nice clear capture also.
