Shore Birds Close To Or On The Beach
Pelican appears to be the White pelican from afar with Grey heron mixing alongside while some take it easy resting on a log washed down, sunbathing during midday sun, good idea.
St Lucia Estuary seasonally the sea washes into the estuary, with Pelicans in flight down river to reach the opening, fishing rights at the end of day!
Standing tall Goliath heron (Ardea goliath), also known as the giant heron, wades through the waters edge ever search to poach the next morsel of food behind on the bank a group of Grey heron onlookers to cheer him on, happy hunting we will follow soon.
Blacksmith lapwing running the beach, life is always busy feeding young hidden somewhere in the dunes, be sure to avoid going close to nests they will bomb dive you!
Grey-headed gull one of the many sea birds you will see along our coastline, coming into land on jagged rocks glad it's not my feet!
Simply giving me the eye, well come any closer, she's my gal..., I was rather close after all....
Giving each other space in life today means a lot to many, time to mull, think things through happy Feathered Friday to one and All.

How To
The final photo is very beautiful; it looks as if it has been captured in reality. Lovely photos.
Bird was slightly higher on a rock I had to go past, no option but to walk a few foot away from him.
What beautiful birds there are there, all the ones you show us on this occasion are very beautiful, they have their own character and charm.
I have never personally seen a pelican in my life, and to be honest I would love to.
May you enjoy the weekend I love your photographs, dear friend @joanstewart, you always dazzle us with the fauna there.
Very busy waterway with birds coming and going in great variety and numbers all year round. Have a wonderful Friday and thanks for visiting.

That't a chicky look from the grey headed gull, talk about space, I shared a well to fetch water from with a lady in my sister's yard and she was all in my face, I asked myself what the hell happened to space, I will be happy with social distancing at that moment.
Something I have never enjoyed is people encroaching onto my space, especially when out shopping or walking, it really is not ideal.
I wonder how some find it normal.
They do....

Nice selection! Waterbirds are very unique.
This region is a paradise for birds and wildlife, pity the people are not caring for the estuary way they should.
Life is thriving on the shore, so nice to have all these birds. The gull is really giving you an eye. 😄. But the shot is worth.
I was stuck on rocks directly below when they landed, nowhere to hide had to pass, look of curiosity possibly?
Suprised what you are doing. 🙂
Shocked more likely...
South Africa is such a beautiful place with so much wildlife, and it always seems to be so tranquil. Only those who live there know the real situation and it's a sad one. The pictures of all of the Seabirds you took in the settings they were in spell out PEACEFUL.
Your last picture is stunning and could be placed on a postcard.
Enjoy the weekend my friend.
Getting to places like this are a blessing once there, always enjoy this region not being over populated, normally only people who enjoy outdoor peaceful places arrive.
Many places in the world that are beautiful, it's finding space to simply be without interference.
I loved all your pictures, each one has a special magic and charm. It is a great gift from the Universe to be able to enjoy the goodness of nature in all its splendor, I can imagine the joy you felt to see the flight of birds in the foreground.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful experience. I wish you a great Sunday, from this side of the planet I send you a big hug! @joanstewart
Magic rising every morning hearing the birds sing knowing they have been up long before you.
Places you do get to enjoy them in numbers where they arrive making no contact with humans, they are in the wild.
Thanks for visiting and kind comment, happy Sunday!
I think that gull was ready and willing to finish whatever anyone wanted to start!
Can I please use one of the pictures in Let Our Picture Tell Your Story, giving you full credit?
