Loitering with extreme intent among the happy crowds at the fish market wolfing down their seafood after gangs of Pelicans with only one thing on their agenda - your lunch!
Actually things are not that bad because each day around midday these giant avians are themselves given a huge feed of fish, probably as a decoy to prevent them from harrassing the punters! watching this feeding ritual in itself is a fascinating experience as you see literally dozens of Pelicans flailing about in the water for their daily fish rations...
Still, be aware that these are big birds and don't give them any excuse to try and grab your grub because their wings could easily deal a nasty blow or two!
Keep your ear out and you may hear one calling out for fish in a voice sounding like Geoffrey Rush's - for this is the stamping ground of Nigel the Pelican!
Lastly, remember to watch out for those pesky seagulls as well, awright Mate!? ;-)
