PELICANS CLASH OVER FOOD

LIFTING their heads high and bumping beaks, these aggressive pelicans clash over fish. The birds jostle with one another as fish is thrown into the lake in Greece. The food fight was photographed in Lake Kerkini in Sintiki, Greece by Jiri Michal. The 34-year-old Czech engineer says: “I lay down on the ground to get in the perfect position to photograph the Dalmatian pelicans, while my colleague threw some Pigo fish into the air for them to catch.
