Dalmatian pelicans, Lake Kerkini, Greece Jan 27, 2026

Their large silhouettes move in tight, steady groups across the still water, making their scale hard to miss. With wingspans stretching over 3 metres, they rank among the world"s largest flying birds. Lake Kerkini"s predictable winter conditions offer reliable, close-range views of their size, grace and coordinated movement.
