Dalmatian pelican (Pelicanus crispus) a large fish eating wetland bird with silvery grey plumage large bright orange and grey bill and yellow eyes

---

The dalmatian pelican seen here is one of the captive birds at the wwt Arundel wetland centre UK. As the birds wing feathers are clipped for stopping them flying off, they do not photograph well with spread wings. I therefore prefer to photograph the head and neck with clear copy space.
