I noticed a single Australian Pelican on each of the two swimming pontoons at Yarralumla Bay. Both were sitting. When I got too close to the nearest bird stood up so I backed away. Eventually it returned, not to a sitting positing but to resting its beak along its back. The bird that was further away did not move. Both birds started to get swooped by magpies from the shore for some reason.
