Flamingo Friday - 027

Another of the red-eyed, red beaked not-quite-pink flamingos for this week. I think he was either scratching his back or staring me down.
Yes, his feathers are sure all puffed up, he is checking you out. I'm glad to see him, happy or sad. He can't help the color of his eyes, smile.

I was thinking of you a few nights ago while I was watching a segment on flamingos in David Attenborough's Planet Earth II. Just about kacked myself. Don't know whether Donald has allowed this foreign series into the country

This guy is definitely agile., Maybe he was doing both and just not wanting you to realize that he WAS staring you down.

This one has managed to hide the beak portion that makes them look so funny! Now he looks like a pink swan on spindles!

That long neck comes in useful when you want to check out what's going on behind you!

Surely it cannot be very comfortable. Guess it is nice to be able to see all around you without having to move your feet!

Very cool capture and pose. Love the stare-down look. Sorry I missed FF yesterday. Had too much going on.

Stunning feather detail and colours Ron with lovely light, composition and depth of field:)

Great one, Ron -- I like your POV so much, with the straight on look and where its head is.

Their necks are so flexible! Amazing capture of him!!

There's those glowing red eyes again, giving you the 'evil'.. strange, although i know this is a Flamingo (cos Ron said) it's beak/bill belies that fact.. because it is part buried in the feathers it looks a totally different shape, making the head different too - the evil eye is the same though..
great use of dark ground to really show off the main attraction.. love the PoV..
it still looks anaemic to me..

so is it facing backwards with its head facing forward or is it facing forward with its butt facing backwards? huh?
