PELICANS CLASH OVER FOOD

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.
