Abstract:

Bester et al (2011) reported a sighting of an injured Great White Pelican Pelecanus onocrotalus beyond its recorded distribution (Williams and Borello 1997a) on 18 August 2010 in the Fish River Canyon. Here, we report additional evidence of Great White Pelican in the Fish River Canyon National Park, Namibia - a sighting of a pelican carcass on 2 June 2010. Our sighting was 11 weeks prior to that of Bester et al (2011), and the carcass was approximately 15 km north of their sighting, 3 km north of the Palm Springs on the Fish River Canyon hiking trail.
