EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the Khwai Concession in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, a great white pelican, Pelecanus onocrotalus, perches majestically atop a tree. The clear, azure sky serves as a serene backdrop, contrasting the pelican's large, grey body and black wingtips. This magnificent water bird, known for its distinctive pouch under its beak used for scooping up fish, is a common sight in the wetlands and shallow waters of the Okavango Delta. The Khwai Concession, a wildlife reserve and national park, is home to a diverse array of flora and fauna. The pelican's presence is a testament to the richness and abundance of this unique ecosystem. The pelican's choice to rest on a tree top is a rare sight, as they are typically found in large colonies near water sources. The pelican's pose, with its wings spread wide, suggests that it may have just taken flight from the water or is preparing to take off. Its keen eyes scan the surroundings, alert for any signs of prey. The pelican's large size and impressive wingspan make it a formidable presence, adding to the beauty and intrigue of the Okavango Delta's diverse wildlife. This photograph, taken by renowned wildlife photographer Sergio Pitamitz, captures the essence of the pelican's power and grace in its natural habitat. The horizontal composition of the image, with the pelican positioned towards the left of the frame, draws the viewer's attention to the bird and the vast, open sky above. The image is a reminder of the wonders of nature and the importance of preserving habitats that support such magnificent creatures.
