Paul swims to rescue sick pelican.


This is Paul, friend and helper of Australian Seabird Rescue SC. For years now Paul has rescued many pelicans, penguins and silver gulls on his daily run along Port Kembla Beach.

Recently Paul helped again as this very sick pelican managed to get enough energy to fly into the water at Fisherman's Beach. We hoped it might swim back to the beach, as being a seabird, it had the advantage over us in the water. Paul swam out and around behind the pelican and headed it toward the sand where he caught it.

The bird is now in care, on antibiotics suffering with pneumonia. Thank you Paul for your support.
