CommentI was sitting on a rock at the bottom of the Bluff at Iluka along with a dozen fishermen waiting for something birdy to happen. This Pelican was standing beside fishermen hoping for an easy meal when it took flight. It flew about 30 meters and clumsily tossed it's head sideways into a small pool and emerged with this spiney fish. It required numerous committed attempts but finally the fish disappearance.
