[![A Quad Of In Flight Dalmatian Pelicans Fly Over Lake Kerkini Photographed During One Of The Natureslens Dalmatian Pelican Photography Holidays](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/a-quad-of-in-flight-dalmatian-pelicans-fly-over-lake-kerkini-photographed-during-one-of-the-natureslens-dalmatian-pelican-photography-holidays.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/a-quad-of-in-flight-dalmatian-pelicans-fly-over-lake-kerkini-photographed-during-one-of-the-natureslens-dalmatian-pelican-photography-holidays.jpg) The man-made waters of Lake [Kerkini](https://natureslens.co.uk/discover/europe/greece/) are bordered by snow-capped mountains, which provides a safe productive for migrating birds as well as the famous [Dalmatian Pelican](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/dalmatian-pelican/). At times of calm, the glassy lake can provide a mirror-like surface for impressive reflection shots.

The mornings on the lake can be quite cold so it’s a good idea to wrap up warmly!

The Pelicans are confiding birds, so no need for big prime lenses here. For the boat trip, we recommend taking a telephoto lens such as the Canon 100-400mm for flexibility. A wide-angle would also be useful in case a Pelican decides to land on the boat!

George has provided us with a wonderful selection of Pelicans in flight, coming in to land as well as landing shots. The “water-skiing” Pelican below is my favourite shot from George. I just love the composition of the Pelican landing on the still waters against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains.
