Feathered Fishermen - The Great White Pelicans of Danube Delta Show Off Their Coordinated Fishing Skills!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a truly awe-inspiring display of animal behavior as a group of Great White Pelicans engage in communal fishing in the stunning Danube Delta. These magnificent birds are not just skilled fishermen individually, but when they come together, their coordinated efforts create an unforgettable spectacle. With wingspans that seem to stretch for miles, these European beauties gather in groups exceeding 100 individuals to drive and catch fish with remarkable effectiveness. And they're not alone! Often accompanied by large flocks of Cormorants, this organized hunting party creates quite the buzz in the biosphere reserve. Located in Romania's Dobrogea region, this UNESCO World Heritage wetland serves as the perfect backdrop for such a successful social gathering. With plentiful prey and ample space provided by Fortuna Lake, it's no wonder these pelicans choose this spot for their impressive fishing expeditions. Photographer Martin Zwick has perfectly captured the magic of nature at work here. From the synchronized flight patterns to the intense focus on their prey, every detail is showcased beautifully in this Ardea Picture Library print. So take a moment to marvel at Mother Nature's wonders and let yourself be transported into the heart of Eastern Europe's wildlife haven through this extraordinary image.
