PELICANS MIRROR THE SKY IN PERFECT LAKE REFLECTIONS
WITH PIX AND VID
By Shuk Yee Tsang
Stunning images and videos show pelicans gliding across glass-still water. Their reflections are so clear, the birds appear to float between sky and lake.
Wildlife photographer and guide Sean Weekly, 36, from North Somerset, UK, filmed the moments in Lake Kerkini in northern Greece, a location he has returned to for many years.
In one clip, a curious pelican can be seen peeping its head into the boat.
Sean often experiments with reflections to find fresh perspectives. This approach helps turn familiar scenes into something unexpected and visually striking.
For him, it is about patience, creativity, and capturing something personal each time he visits.
Sean said: “Because pelicans are such large birds, I often film them in slow motion. It helps slow everything down and reveals the beauty of their movement.
“Watching their wings move through the air, you realise just how elegant they are, despite their size.
“Using reflections adds another layer to the image. It turns a familiar scene into something more unexpected.
“Lake Kerkini inspires me every time I visit. No two days are the same, and that’s what keeps bringing me back.”
