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
