We met up with B'Pers John Connolly and his wife to see the Pelicans at the Entrance which is the 'The Pelican Capital of Australia'.The daily pelican feeding is one of the Central Coast's most popular attractions.

There are often injuries caused to the Pelicans due to rubbish such as plastic bags, fishing lines and hooks so the volunteers keep an eye out during the daily feeding and capture sick birds. It was as hot as billy- o, Graham took this shot of the big bird cooling off waiting for his Tucker. ~Pat

Hi Melodie, Billy O is Australian slang meaning 'stuffed" which we were, it was 35, really HOT. Tucker means dinner LOL. Thank you for your kind words! ~Pat

Graham did really well capturing this moment, Pat! The detail is awesome, while the color belies the oppressive heat that day!

LOL Hi Chris so you heard all about my dip into the pool, poor Graham could not believe his eyes! And neither could the people watching him.

Great you liked the music, thanks again Chris! Shame you and Tony couldn't make it, one day maybe. ~Pat
