Black and White birds

Three black and white photos I want to share with you today :)

Mr. crow from the botanical gardens - these photos are all film that I converted to black and white, you might remember seeing digital verions of them from other posts. I have this habit when I like a shot I take it both digitally and in film just in case the film shot doesn't turn out.   Lately I've been trying to trust myself + film more not to have to do that :p

Mr Pelican, such nice light that day though any camera could of take a great shot :)

And poor mr. bird. - the beach was (horrifically) littered in these dead Sea birds.   It was the saddest thing I'd seen in a while.  I tried to get all detective and work out their cause of death but yeah turns out I'm no marine biologist, so all I was left with was just some bad guesses.

Pelican Adventures

I love pelicans there is something so awesome about animals that defy stereotypes or at least those I've created for them - see in my head birds are meant to be small (canary sized) that chirp and fly around daintily.  Pelicans on the other hand are huge, unrealistically sized and I'm sure, if you were ever attacked by one as a kid would have left a lingering scar. I wasn't attacked as a kid so anytime I see a pelican I just get gleefully happy - this pelican was extra cool too as he really didn't give two hoots about humans or our proximity all he wanted to do was steal the fish that little boy had caught :p

He ended up giving up in the end, too many guards around :p

I thought everyone was a bit mean, personally I would of given him some fish!
