Eyes right!

This squadron of great white pelicans was captured at the Ma’ayan Zvi fishponds in Israel. Around 5,000 pelicans gathered at the ponds for a migratory pit-stop and lingered for a month to feast, causing much consternation among the pond guards. To get the perfect shot, Yossi Eshbol used a Nikon D3 with a 600mm f4 lens set at 1/200 sec at f18 (-1.3 e/v) and ISO 640 with a Gitzo tripod ... and then waited for the crucial moment.

This image, together with other stunning photographs, can be seen at the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2013 exhibition which opens on 18 October.
