User's notes
The Pelican was seen from below the Nguurung Lookout, flying at low level along the Murrumbidgee River in very strong winds. The bird was flying on the lee side of the adjacent hill and getting buffeted in flight by the resulting turbulence. As the bird was some distance away, the sighting coordinates have been adjusted to show its location rather than the camera's location.
