When it comes to food, Pelicans don't fool around. It's every bird for her/himself. As seen in this picture, taken yesterday at the Ponds. This group must have run across a particularly fertile underwater snack-bar as they were vying for position.
Why did I think of the word "tiffin"? Growing up in Shanghai, I knew it as as meaning lunch, or any light meal. It originated in British India and somehow found itself into the mish-mash English used by the foreign community. I believe the word has become archaic and is only remembered by old folks like me. But I thought you would be anxious to know.
