Pelicans


 
These are Great White Pelicans, believe it or not...they're a bit muddy.  They form up in dredging lines and feast on mudfish until they are so heavy that flight becomes an issue.  This may be why they have one of the largest wingspans of any flying bird in Africa, measuring up to an incredible 3 metres (10 feet).
