Spot-billed Pelican ———————————————————————————- Pelicans have long, broad wings with a big surface area. This helps them catch rising currents of warm air called thermals, which lift them up without any need for flapping. Once up high, they can position their wings so that they can glide. As it saves energy, many such birds use thermals to travel long distance during migration. ———————————————————————————- Jakkur Lake, Bengaluru March 2021 ———————————————————————————- #greenlenstrails #spotbilledpelican #pelican #soaring #birdsinflight #NammaKarnatakaWildlife #ourbirds_karnataka #ourbirds_india #ebird #wetlandsconservation #CapturedOnCanon #canonwilderness #canon90d #tamron150600g2 #nifhivefeature #indianbirdsociety #indianbirdlifeofficial #wildlife_through_lens_ #bird_watchers_daily #birdsonearth #birdsofinstagram #nature_worldwide_birds #yourshotphotographer #raw_birds #feather_perfection #_life_of_birds #natureaddict #_wild_is_life_ #indianwildography #wildlifebirds
