An amazing glass squid. When I disturbed it it would tuck in its tentacles and eyes, and even its fins and show big spots. So cool. The area around the brain was brightly iridescent. There are very faint long tubercles around the mantle if that helps with species id.
Really hard to get nice shots with a compact camera sadly.

~2.5cm long

Dalmatian Pelican seen fishing in the series 2-5. A fish got stuck in the beak and it was able to gulp the fish after a lot of efforts. The first pic is of a different Pelican. A vulnerable species as per IUCN, the Dalmatian Pelican is a massive member of the pelican family. It breeds from southeastern Europe to India and China in swamps and shallow lakes. The nest is a crude heap of vegetation.

Together with a smaller water snake (Helicops?). I'm not sure of what is happening here but at least it seems as they're getting along.

Junta de uma cobra d'água menor (Helicops?). Não tenho certeza do que está acontecendo aqui, mas pelo menos parece que elas estão se dando bem.
