Close up Portrait

This close up photo of a Greater Flamingo shows the head and beak in a little more detail than my landscape images of them.

 

Greater flamingos have a unique beak that makes the diet different from many other species. They have a shallow spine that helps them filter the bait. They also have a filtration and pumping system in the beak, making it the most advanced bird filter feeder.

 

This photo was taken outside Arles in the south of France.
