Coorong, autumn 2024 (#9 in series: promenade/runway)

 

 

This post’s two photos were taken within thirty seconds of each other.

Promenading pelicans sometimes resemble corpulent “captains of industry” at a “prestigious”, corporate “backslapping”,”bonding” or “charitable” event…or attendees at a political party’s “pay for access”  fundraiser.

Moments later the relevant sandbar/mudbank in the Coorong’s north lagoon had become a runway.

It lacked a “control tower”, but the pelican airport’s well-ordered customers were the very  model of “self-regulation”.
