Pelican ablutions and MM results

These 4 were busy preening and cleaning themselves and let me get quite close to them.   You can see what lens distance is here.  Maybe they thought I had some fish for them. 

I have been late to MM results this week, my apologies.    I forgot about Friday's show and then yesterday just got away from me.  I found it particularly hard this week giving awards.  Hearts went in no particular order to:

Skeena, Mono Monday
LesleyAlsford - In remembrance
Stujphoto - Remembrance
Stiffknees , In memory of Uncle Jack
JohnRH - Remembrance

HMs to:
V1k1 - More than you know
60plus - A final offering
Wildwood - Veterans Day
Dollydoug, remembrance
chrisf - Women of Steel

Next week's theme is 'Something you don't see every day' and the tag is MM565.
