This image is the next shot in the series of Pelican images photographed at Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary on sunday.
Canon EOS 1D Mark II, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 1.4xII, ISO 400, f7.1, 1/2000 sec, EV: -1/3rd, Aperture Priority.
The Pelican was landing when it touched down on water, then again took off a couple of hops and first opened its bill like a skimmer as show in the previous image in the following link.

Then the Pelican had a jab at something - perhaps a fish. I had never seen this behaviour before. Look forward to you comments.
