Thought for sure this pelican was going to get smashed.

I was watching this scene unfold and thought for sure the pelican was about to become croc food but it did not happen. I have seen Storm Boy so i was kind of glad....would have been a good sequence of pics though.

I've seen some birds wonder right into strike distance of crocs before, particularly those white herons. I've never seen one get tagged or even struck at yet.

I was kicking back on a boat at Corroborree Billabong one day when a heron that had been sitting peacefully on the water began to take flight - hadn't gone more than a foot or so above the water when SNAP!! Gone.

I've seen magpie geese taking their chicks from one side of Coroboree to the other. Started with 8
and between the crocs and the sea eagles not one made it to the other side. Not sure why they were crossing the river
looked the same on both sides to me.

Also know of a lady who keeps a saltie wandering round her back yard with 1/2 doz chickens.
Seems weird but the chickens are all still bopping around uneaten.

Who could predict it hey, These pics are from coroboree too

Pretty much picked that, looks like a nice size saltie.

I always like to take interstate visitors to Corroboree - it offers such a unique wildlife experience so close to Darwin.

It probably already had its fill before you got there!
