This was a unbelievable sight. Hundreds of birds working together flying low over the water from bo5th ends of the creek driving the fish into one spot, then the feast began. Never seen anything like it before.
Image Could Not Be Found
The
Cooper Creek near
Innamincka

I don't have a picture so your emagination will be needed. When we were at
Kilcowera Station, south of
Thargomindah, about 10 days ago, birdlife photographers working there caught on video a feeding frenzy involving more than 20,000 pelicans (their estimate) feeding on krill on
Lake Wyara on the border of Curawinya NP. We saw their work when they returned to the shearers' quarters where we were staying.The birds were moving across the
lake in a long column. As the front birds scooped a bill full they took off and went to the back of the queue. With shch orderly queueing they must have been Pommy pelicans.
