British photographer spends two weeks befriending huge 'Dalmatian Pelicans'

A British photographer spent two weeks befriending huge 'Dalmatian Pelicans' to get these incredible close-up pictures of the pre-historic looking birds.

Sean Weekly, 28, snapped the "charismatic" troupe of the largest members of the pelican family in a pristine lake surrounded by the stunning snow-capped mountains.

Mr Weekly, from Sittingbourne, Kent, braved freezing temperatures on a boat every morning to take these beautiful shots of the birds soaring above Lake Kerkini in Northern Greece.
