Just a handful of Flamingos

where normally there are thousands. At least I did get to see some, albeit rather far away. At that time I was still trying out the Tamron 18-400.

Such a lovely shot and I like how they seem to be in formation.

[Lou Ann]

A lovely image! Did I miss your post about why there were not thousands of flamingoes? Perhaps they migrate?

@ludwigsdiana @koalagardens @777margo We have been watching a David Attenborough documentary on how animals use color. He said they are white when they are juveniles or if they are females that have recently raised a young one and are replenishing their energy.

@sangwann Poorly Dione, I returned it and got the Canon 15-85 and 70-300 ;-)
@pdulis We don't have shrimp here :-)
@louannwarren I was told by our bird club friend that the water was too deep. They like to stand in shallow water :-)
@vernabeth I have never seen those used amounts Beth. Our friend goes with the bird club to count them annually :-)

[Lou Ann]

@ludwigsdiana oh! That means you’ve had some good rains, which is a good thing.

[Helge E. Storheim]

Beautiful birds
