Summary

[edit]
Description Another Grey Pelican at the distance was in the meantime doing what birds everywhere love to do: preening. The Spot-billed Pelican or Grey Pelica breeds in southern Asia from southern Pakistan across India east to Indonesia. It is a bird of large inland and coastal waters, especially large lakes. At a distance they are difficult to differentiate from other pelicans in the region although it is smaller but at close range the spots on the upper mandible, the lack of bright colours and the greyer plumage are distinctive. In some areas these birds nest in large colonies close to human habitations. (Butterworth, Penang, Nov. 2013)
