A pelican escaped from an Irish zoo and was spotted more than 100 miles away.

The Fota Wildlife Park in Cork confirmed that the bird escaped for a second time and was spotted in the town of Wexford, the same place it had visited when it previously made a bid for freedom in 2018.
Park director Sean McKeown told RTE: "He has been in the park since 2012, and he has done it before. He did it in 2018. He thinks that Wexford is a great place for a staycation."
McKeown expects the pelican to return within the next couple of months, just as he did when he previously escaped.
He said: "His half-brother is in the wildlife park, so he's likely to return here.
"The other option, as he is unlikely to stay in Wexford, is he will head off to the continent possibly over to Greece and Romania, where there are other great white pelicans."
