Close Up - Greater Flamingo
There was so much going on in this lake that I almost missed this Greater Flamingo flying past us.
Flamingos prefer to fly with a cloudless sky and favorable tailwinds. They can travel approximately 600 km (373 miles) in one night at about 50 to 60 kph (31-37 mph).
This flamingo was not travelling that far. He moved to a more secluded part of the lake for the evening.
Taken in Camargue NP France.
-Phoenicopterus roseus
