I captured these while staying in Melbourne with my parents. It took several outings in order to figure out a place and time where I could get close enough to capture pelicans diving for fish. These pictures are still at the outer range of my 80-400 lens and heavily cropped.
This guy was just flying along the top of the water. They actually rise and dip with the waves in flight.

This guy is at the beginning of his dive.
