Coorong, autumn 2024 (#3 in series: big & small)

Surrounded by many tiny birds (dotterels, I think) is a solitary example of the bird with the biggest bill of them all.

Almost immediately on our entering the northern (Murray mouth);end of the Coorong it was abundantly evident that we were witnessing “boom time”.

As will soon become apparent,  this post’s hero – an Australian pelican – was in fact many thousands of fellows far from being alone at the Coorong in March 2024.
