But I'll guess at a Pink-backed Pelican - Pelecanus rufescens for the pelican.

I never realised before but don't pelicans have short legs compared to the size of their bodies?

That's a great photo btw, I love the pose of the main pelican and the way he's staring at you, and the one at the back looks quite comical and definately terradactyl like as Goosey said in the gallery.
