The Original Pelican Eats Pigeon

Viewed near three-quarters of a million times*, this is the original footage. Filmed by myself in St. James Park, London Sunday 7th August 2005. I'd just finished film school and had hired a Z1 as a graduation present. Fifteen minutes after setting up, near Princess Diana's Memorial Walk, this happened. In front of me with the camera rolling! It's been seen all over the world; on BBC World, MSNBC and in Canada. Normally, that pelican is a lovely fellow and very friendly. He even likes his head to be scratched. Original footage in HDV. * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (440,272) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (131,589) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (127,823)
