How Many Pelicans Today?
The bridge from the mainland to Bribie Island is over 50 years old - and nothing much has changed in that time! It has thirteen lights on the bridge, and during the day they are nesting spots for pelicans.

Today there were a couple, but not at the end where I took the photo. When I have grandchildren with me, it is a game to count the pelicans. And I find myself doing it when I am on my own too.
Normally they sit quietly on the light - as if just casting their eyes over their territory. But sometimes, their bowels move and a spray of bird poo lands on a passing car. It is not a big problem - unless you are the one with the messy duco.
Sometimes there are two pelicans on the light.
There are always pelicans on the waterfront if you want to get a good look at them. They are usually at the boat ramp or near the fish and chip shop - always hoping to get a feed.
They are lovely looking birds.
