Pelikany kłócą się o rybę

ATTENTION! A large squadron of pelicans squabble over fish at Lake Kerkini, Greece. This heated exchange was photographed by Dimo Hristev from Bulgaria. He said, “Pelicans are a group of large waterfowl found throughout the world, with most species inhabiting coastal areas or freshwater lakes and rivers. These magnificent birds are known for their distinctively large beaks, which they use to catch fish and other small aquatic creatures.” “In Lake Kerkini, two species of pelicans can be found, the American white pelican and the brown pelican. Those seen here are American white pelicans, they are large, striking birds with a wingspan of up to 3 meters. In addition to their impressive size and unique feeding habits, pelicans are also important top predators in aquatic environments, helping to regulate fish populations and maintain a healthy balance in the food chain.” “Lake Kerkini is a wetland ecosystem located in northern Greece and is home to a variety of aquatic species, including pelicans. It is a vital habitat for curled pelicans, providing a stunning natural spectacle and highlighting the importance of preserving wetland ecosystems for the benefit of both wildlife and humans."
