Will the WP join them too?   Yes, I did stop down to f/11 in this case and IS activated shooting w/ a monopod!   Best kk ----------- http://www.geocities.com/kkhui_001 Logged Paul Leader Guest Re: Dalmatian Pelican 卷羽鵜鶘 « Reply #3 on: Feb 27th, 2003, 9:52am » Quote Modify Remove I am sorry to have to say that I think the White Pelican is almost certainly an escape.  I had seen it briefly in flight before last weekend, and had thought it showed moult of the inner primaries and that this was symmetrical.  In short it looked like a moulting adult.     However, on Saturday, I had good flight views of it and the Dalmatian Pelicans over Mai Po.  The White Pelican had almost no secondaries, and missing/damaged primaries.  This was asymmetrical and was clearly not normal moult.  If fact it looked to me like extensive damage that could only have occurred as a captive bird. One only has to compare it to moulting Dalmatian Pelicans to see the difference.   However, if any of the many excellent photographers out there get the opportunity to photograph it in flight it would useful to the exact extent of the damage.   Yesterday (and at the weekend) all the Pelicans were seen in flight over Mai Po.

It shows the severely abraded seconaries of the Pelican. Could anybody please tell me whether the bird is the escape African Pelican or any other species? It looks a bit smaller than the nearby Dalmatians.   http://www.geocities.com/thekoelfantasy/peli.JPG « Last Edit: Feb 27th, 2003, 6:00pm by Forrest FONG » Logged Paul Leader Guest Re: Dalmatian Pelican 卷羽鵜鶘 « Reply #6 on: Feb 27th, 2003, 6:08pm » Quote Modify Remove A very helpful photograph which show that all the secondaries are missing and about two thirds of the primaries.  I am surprised it can still fly!

Any expert can attest that??   If you look closely on the two photos above, all the secondaries on its left wing were gone (trimed?) and a large portion of the secondaries are still intact on the right wing.
