EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Great White Pelican, Pelecanus onocrotalus, gracefully stands in the shallow waters of the Danube Delta in Romania. The Danube Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest and best-preserved delta in Europe, and is home to an incredible array of bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers and wildlife photographers alike. The Great White Pelican is the largest extant species of pelican, with a wingspan that can reach up to 3.5 meters (11.5 feet). Its distinctive pouch under its beak, which can hold up to 11 liters (3 gallons) of water, is used to scoop up fish. In this image, the pelican's beak is open, revealing the pink interior, a result of the bird's diet of mainly fish. The pelican's serene and majestic presence in the marshy waters of the Danube Delta is a sight to behold. Its white plumage contrasts beautifully with the surrounding vegetation and the reflections on the water's surface. The pelican's piercing gaze seems to penetrate the camera, drawing the viewer into its world. The photograph was taken by the talented Andrei Prodan, a renowned wildlife photographer based in Romania. Prodan's passion for nature and wildlife is evident in his stunning images, which capture the beauty and grace of the natural world in all its splendor. This photograph of the Great White Pelican is a testament to Prodan's skill and dedication to his craft. The Danube Delta is a unique and precious ecosystem, and it is a privilege to witness the magnificent Great White Pelican in its natural habitat. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems and the incredible wildlife that call them home.
