Australian pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus) is a large waterbird widespread on the inland and coastal waters of Australia, New Guinea, Fiji, parts of Indonesia and as a vagrant in New Zealand. It has been recorded as having the longest bill of any living bird.

This pelican could fly away, but seems to enjoy spending time on the shore of the Monkey Mia Reserve in Western Australia where there is plenty of food and attention from adoring tourists.

This is a very large and distinctive black-and-white pelican with an enormous bill with characteristic throat pouch in which it catches fish before swallowing the fish. The species is usually found near water, both marine and inland waterways. The birds become reasonably tame around boat-ramps and fishing spots.

Several pelicans gracefully swim on the surface of a tranquil lake, their large wings folded neatly against their bodies as they glide effortlessly through the water. These majestic seabirds, known for their distinctive long bills and expansive wingspans, create a serene tableau against the backdrop of the lake's reflective surface. With their webbed feet propelling them smoothly, they navigate the aquatic habitat with ease, occasionally dipping their bills into the water in search of fish. Soon, with a synchronized flurry of wings, they take flight, their departure marking a fleeting yet captivating moment of natural beauty in the coastal landscape.
