Pelecanus philippensis Gmelin & JF 1789

Description: A very early morning arrival into Colombo meant I had to kill some time in Beria lakeside garden in the Rajagiriya area in Colombo until my hotel room was made available. I saw this pelican at the far side of the Beriya lake, and tried to zoom in for a shot. This is at full 300mm zoom. (Colombo, Sri Lanka, June 2011). Date: 1 June 2011, 00:00.

Description: I was positioned behind the bird for a while and was hoping that it will turn towards me for a shot (which is when it was flying out of its spot). And then this beauty did. With what I felt was a beautiful smile on its face as if to say "Hello Mr. Paparazzi - how do you do?" Lovely!. Date: 22 December 2018, 15:33. Source: Painted Stork - a Furtive Look.

Description: This is quite a majestic bird with large Wings. Often these would jump out of the nest, take a big fly about around the lake looking for twigs I guess. This photo was captured in one such flyabout. Date: 22 December 2018, 15:54. Source: Pelican in a Turn. Author: Hari K Patibanda.

Description: This was in a bird sanctuary with a number of different species trying to find good spots for nesting. Once they find it, the female likely occupies the shop while the male just flies around gathering materials to build the nest. This was shot in one such flight of the painted stork.
