Pelicans and Gulls at Lake Kerkini

LAKE KERKINI, CENTRAL MACEDONIA, GREECE

A field record of mixed waterbirds gathered in shallow lake water. A great white pelican anchors the foreground while gulls hold to the driftwood and one bird hovers above the group. The frame balances stillness and movement, with soft water, a reed line, and distant hills forming a quiet backdrop. Nothing here feels staged; the interest lies in posture, spacing, and the brief disturbance of birds in shared habitat. It reads as an observational wildlife image, precise in subject and calm in tone.
