26 Feb 2014 WAGS at Noosa Yacht Club, Noosa River, Queensland. Every Wednesday there is a race at the Noosa Yacht Club on the Noosa River. Known as WAGS (Wednesday Afternoon Gentleman Sailing) , it has now been modified to include Ladies WAGLS. Always fun to watch the variety of trailer sailers racing. EfS 60mm Canon EOS 550D

Near Devil's Kitchen in the Noosa National Park, Queensland. Spectacular cliffs and deep blue/green sea with crashing waves. The eastern side of Noosa Head faces into the prevailing southerly swell and winds, and is a far more energetic shoreline. The basalt rocks of the head extend south for 2 km to Paradise Caves, with two beaches in between. The Noosa walking track runs to the head and along the back of both beaches and on to neighbouring Sunshine Beach.

On Lake Cooroibah, a very shallow lake, at low tide.

The Australian Pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus) is a large black and white bird (1.6 to 1.8 metres long, wingspan 2.3 to 2.5 metres) with long bill and large throat pouch. Eye black with yellow ring. Legs and webbed feet are grey. Females similar to males with a shorter bill. Breeding birds have a yellow patch on the breast and a deep pink bill. There are no geographical variations. Wild pelicans live between 10 and possibly 25 plus years. They normally walk and swim with head and neck extended; in flight the head is tucked back and when stalking fish the bird swims with the head held low, presumably to make harder to see from underwater. Pelicans weigh 3 to 14 kilograms; they have an extremely light skeleton making up only ten per cent of the body weight. All pelicans have a layer of bubbles under most of their torso, believed to be for flotation and insulation. Pelicans mainly eat fish but will also eat crustaceans, tadpoles and turtles. During periods of starvation pelicans have been reported to eat seagulls; the gull is held underwater until it drowns then is swallowed headfirst. Pelicans also rob other birds of their prey; they willingly accept handouts from humans and often cluster around fish-cleaning stations expecting fisherpeople to throw them unwanted fish scraps. Given a chance they will take bait from unguarded bait-buckets.

Near the launching ramp in Tewantin on theNoosa River. These guys hang around in the hope of picking up scraps from the fishermen. 1/31 Dark Green December 12 Months in Colour... there is some green here, just had to feature these Pelicans :-)

Spontaneous capture of fellow photographer on the launching ramp in Tewantin on the Noosa River. So many Pelicans there today, hoping for fish scraps from the fishermen.
