During the afternoon in the office word reached our ears that a Great White Pelican had been seen again at Dithmarscher Koog, where it had been seen before I had arrived. After work we headed there and were rewarded with EXCEPTIONAL views of this STUNNING bird chilling out on the water. I, for one, am a big pelican fan so as soon as news broke I was running on pure adrenaline and it did not dissapoint, actively feeding on the lake in the company of Mallards and Shovelers. Other nice birds for the evening birding included Black Redstart and Spotted Redshank.
