I only found out about Colin's passing today over breakfast in the newspaper.......I guess with so much tragic loss this week it didn't make the big headlines.
A wonderful image to dedicate to a fantastic author.

A remarkable close up of Percival, Julie! Every pelican we meet, we always say "G'Day Percy" to them, and have always done so since we read the book, and saw the movie. I actually have some video of the pelican that stared in the movie, captured at Adelaids Seaworld before it was forced to close down. #3288835
