There are always lots of birds to see if you take a walk along the Esplanade in Cairns. First of all the pelicans, which are present in great numbers, and for a European from the northern part of Europe, they are more than interesting.If you have a closer look at the enlarged photo you can see a couple of spoonbills and another waterbird, which I don't know, it looks like a heron. The odd seagull is always present, but in Holland we have more of them. What I thought remarkable was the fact that two budgies were sitting in the grass not far from where we were walking. They were so much interested in each other that I could easily take a photo!

I love the pictures of the birds, and today especially the pelicans, because yesterday we saw some here in our little corner of the world, but I couldn't get close enough to take a fantastic picture like yours. But, I was thrilled to see them nevertheless.
I love the pelicans. We don't get to see pelicans around here, so I am glad that you shared these pictures with us. Thank you.
BTW, I could not access your blog from the critters site. I don't know if anyone else is having a problem or it is just me. Lisa
So many birds! Long live Australia!
Wow--what a bunch of peligans!
BTW, I don't know if it is just my computer or an error, but I could not access this page from Camera Critters meme. I googled to find it.
Never mind, I see someone else had problems also.
love the birds!

Love those pelicans! We don't often see white ones here.
Gorgeous photos of the birds. I am not good at taking bird pics.
Awesome pictures like the pelicans but I love the picture of the last 2 they are so pretty.Thanks for stopping by.
I love pelicans! It was wonderful to see some that were different than the brown ones we see in Florida...
magnificent header - dreamy to me - lots of varieties of birds Sandy
Wow. That is a lot of birds. My kids would love that. Walking through and watching the birds run.
Wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see all these pelicans! Nice photos!
I love the second to the last picture... it's like the bird is "walking on the park."

Luv the pelicans. Always nice to see. We don't hardly any where I'm at.
What beautiful birds!
Terrific images!
Love the coloring of the pelicans and that seagull seems to be strutting just for your camera.
The budgies are the cutest!
great set of bird shots
Wow I'm really drawn to those pelican shots. Don't get those up here in the northeast so they're a bit foreign to me. Love the way you were able to photo the whole group of them.
What great shots! Thanks for stopping by this morning :-)
You get some interesting birds to watch and I do love the birds..

What lovely pictures of the birds !!
I think I had commented on this post.
Where has it gone ?
The pelican was an emblem on "Louis's" favorite car, the Packard. For many years, a pelican was the hood ornament on a Packard, though it was not used on the model "Louis" shows in the link above.
"Louis" has a seagull in his Odd Shot.
Wil: Those are outstanding photos.
Beautiful birds, nice digitally captured.
