Hi everyone,

A short time ago I posted a comment about how brazen and friendly the local Pelicans can be, and how a young Pelican once demanded my fish and chips. Well, luckily I had a P&S on me that day (several years ago), and I just found the photos in my archive (I had the Nikon Coolpix 990 then).

My apologies about the window reflections, but my girlfriend at the time didn't really want me to open the window - this guy really wanted her fish and chips, too! :D

LOL He was not really prepared to take NO for an answer. :)

Yup. He felt entitled to a little "tax" for letting us park my car in "his" car park. :D

Yes, they are. This one was just a little more demanding that they usually are. :)

Thanks Hal! :)

He had his share - he earned it! :)

Don't give him any ideas! :D

Perhaps you could remove the window reflections in post processing?

I could if I could be bothered! :) Truth is, these were never anything more than snapshots of the incident, so I never did bother...
