OBSERVATION LOG 068 / CAP FERRAT

A bird, a bicycle,
a small correction
to the known world.

At 18:04 on an unremarkable Thursday, a European white pelican was observed circling the observatory on a red road bicycle. The specimen maintained 18.4 km/h against a light offshore wind. It did not appear to be in a hurry.

The telescope was adjusted. The pelican adjusted first. We have decided not to file this as a malfunction.

SUBJECT Pelecanus cyclista
