Observation details
The local pelican population has gone into steep decline! We previously had over 40 (as reported) but we now appear to be down to single figures - the Fish Farm visit confirming what we've been being at and around Kadiki and in our upstream boat trip on 7 March. It may well be just a coincidence but I can date the start of the decline pretty much to the day when the sandbars at the upstream end of Chundu Island went underwater.
