Pelicans at Sunset
Taken in between sundowners at Nata Bird Sanctuary, Botswana :toast:
Whilst there were no flamingos the colours of the sunset made up for it

350D, Sigma 100-300 @ 132mm, f7.1 for 1/250 @ ISO100. Handheld
One small pelican in the distance cloned out

Looking back its a pity I didn't catch all three in a nice line leading directly to the sun

All comments welcome :smile:

Glorious sunset Magnus, reflection is very nice indeed, I was thinking exactly the same thing re the birds in line with the sun, but still very nice as is.

Super shot. If you want them in line with the sun, you'll just have to go back .. shame !!!!
