The photograph of the Spot-Billed Pelican was taken with Nikon Coolpix camera by me at a Lake in Mysore some years ago.
The Wikipedia states that the spot-billed pelican or grey pelican (Pelecanus philippensis) is a member of the pelican family. It breeds in southern Asia from southern Pakistan across India east to Indonesia. It is a bird of large inland and
coastal waters, especially large lakes. At a distance, they are difficult to differentiate from other pelicans in the region although it is smaller but at close range the spots on the upper mandible, the lack of bright colours and the greyer plumage are distinctive. In some areas, these birds nest in large colonies close to human habitations.
