Caye Caulker Pelicans Stopped in Motion

On my first trip to Belize, we stayed in Caye Caulker for the whole time. We had plans to explore further afield but we settled in and really enjoyed spending all of our time exploring this special island. The birdlife around the water was fantastic and I had great opportunities to photograph the brown pelicans daily.

That worked well for me, I love these birds and they often share something new that catches my eye whenever I get to photograph them in motion.
