Great White Pelican Pelecanus onocrotalus. London Zoo, London, United Kingdom.
Photographer: Pedro Jarque Krebs, Peru. Category: Creative Imagery. HONOURABLE MENTION.
Photographer's Story: ‘I took this photo while on a visit to London Zoo, just at the moment the pelicans were being fed. Two zookeepers were stationed on either side of their pond and fed the pelicans alternately. As a result the three birds were obliged to run from one side to the other, making them work for their dinner. In addition to giving the pelicans a bit of healthy exercise, it meant that the keepers could ensure that the fish were distributed equally and fairly, and all three pelicans got a decent meal.’
