Greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus)
At Pallikaranai, Chennai
Saw them around February and they are still here!!
They migrate from the Rann of Kutch (c.1900 kms from here) in Nov-Dec. As late as until 2011, barely six individuals were seen here and in the last 4 years the place is just besprinkled as it were in pink (with some counts mentioning a no. as high as 500). At least for the last 2 years, the stay is well extended too.
