The pelican swam until it was directly in front of where we were sitting – roughly above the shallow sand spit – and proceeded to fish. It looked intently down into the water, and then quickly plunged its head in – emerging with a dinner-plate-sized round and flattened fish in its bill. It then tipped up its bill – the fish was engulfed in the pink fleshy pouch below – and after a minute or two the pelican somehow managed to swallow it. The bird soon caught and swallowed a second round, flat fish, and a then a third. Even though the pouch of a pelican can be hugely distended (and can hold up to 14 litres of water) its body really isn’t all that big. We were wondering how many more fish it could fit in.
