Pretty Flamingo ?
Phoenicopterus roseus. Personally, I don’t think Flamingoes are that pretty, and it’s not my favourite waterbird. Let's be honest this doesn't look like the smartest bird in the world. It's not a great photo either, shot against the light. However, as they were present in numbers every day on Charco de la Boca lagoon by El Rocio and are one of the key species in the Coto Donana I thought I ought to post at least one shot. Greater Flamingo is the largest and most widespread of the six species of Flamingo. It’s the only one that breeds in Europe, being largely confined to the Mediterranean region.
