Jackwow 19 Jul 2013 Thanks Jana, I did read on someone's blog that it was a spot-billed pelican but I couldn't see any spots on its bill which were obvious on images I viewed on the net?

Jana 19 Jul 2013 Young birds are missing the spots on their bills. Also there is a natural variability of coloration within the population. Young spot-billed pelicans I´ve seen both in Prague and Dvur Kralove look exactly like the bird on your pic.
