Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus) swims across a near still Lake Kerkini
Dalmatian pelicans on Lake Kerkini, Greece - 18 Jan 2015
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/pvfo
They may look large and ungainly, not to mention almost prehistoric in appearance, but these Dalmatian pelicans show what a delicate touch they have as they come into land on water. Landscape and wildlife photographer Drew Buckley captured these enigmatic birds in action as they went about their daily lives on Lake Kerkini in northern Greece. While on a weekend trip with Natures Lens, Brit Drew's photos show the pelicans transforming from calm and serene - gliding above the mirror-like surface of the lake - to fast and frantic as a large group squabble over fish. Drew comments: "Lake Kerkini is the most important place in Europe for the globally threatened Dalmatian Pelican which, thankfully, can be observed here in great numbers during the winter months. "With mirror like reflections backed by high snowy peaks, Lake Kerkini is stunning place to be and a real paradise for bird watchers".

Pugilist Pelicans
With the offer of free fish on the line these pugilist pelicans didn't pull their punches.
Really causing the feathers to fly, the birds turned to violence in an effort to establish a pecking order.
The Dalmatian Pelicans were seen getting into a flap after fishermen discarded some of their catch on Lake Kerkini in Macedonia, Greece.
Photographer Bill Coster captured the moment the birds came to blows in their attempts to snap up the free lunch.
And the hungry flock used their distinctive orange beaks to good effect as they battled it out with what appeared to be an avian form of arm wrestling.
As news about the fishy feast spread more and more pelicans joined the brawl until every available morsel had been swallowed.
Dalmatian Pelicans are one of the largest living bird species, with a wingspan of 9ft 6in-11ft 6in.
Having such a vast frame means they are required to consume a massive 1,200 g (2.6 lb) of fish per day.
Lake Kerkini is an artificial reservoir that was created in 1932.
Today it is considered to be the premier birding site in Greece, and is situated along an important flyway for migratory birds.
The lake is particularly well known for its pelican population, both Dalmatian and White.
The Pelicans winter and breed on the lake using platforms specially built for them.

Dalmatian Pelicans are one of the largest living bird species, with a wingspan of 9ft 6in-11ft 6in.
Having such a vast frame means they are required to consume a massive 1,200 g (2.6 lb) of fish per day.
Lake Kerkini is an artificial reservoir that was created in 1932.
Today it is considered to be the premier birding site in Greece, and is situated along an important flyway for migratory birds.
The lake is particularly well known for its pelican population, both Dalmatian and White.
The Pelicans winter and breed on the lake using platforms specially built for them.

Pugilist Pelicans
With the offer of free fish on the line these pugilist pelicans didn't pull their punches.
Really causing the feathers to fly, the birds turned to violence in an effort to establish a pecking order.
The Dalmatian Pelicans were seen getting into a flap after fishermen discarded some of their catch on Lake Kerkini in Macedonia, Greece.
Photographer Bill Coster captured the moment the birds came to blows in their attempts to snap up the free lunch.
And the hungry flock used their distinctive orange beaks to good effect as they battled it out with what appeared to be an avian form of arm wrestling.
As news about the fishy feast spread more and more pelicans joined the brawl until every available morsel had been swallowed.
