SPOT what's wrong in this lovely pelican shot? (Port Macquarie, NSW)


A fishing spindle hooked in a wing

Eagle-eyed Brenda spotted more than a beautiful photo opportunity in this pelican.
Walking down the breakwater to town, I stopped to take my first photo.
Hours later, on the way home, I was surprised to see the bird in the same position.
A closer look revealed the poor bird's condition.

I wonder how many others noticed?
(I popped into the nearby police station and asked them to call WIRES).
Bird has gone now.
Hope he's flying high.
