A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.

The lesser flamingo is a species of flamingo occurring in sub-Saharan Africa and western India. Birds are occasionally reported from further north, but these are generally considered vagrants.
This is the smallest species of flamingo, though it is a tall and large bird by most standards. Most of the plumage is pinkish white. The clearest difference between this species and the greater flamingo, the only other Old World species of flamingo, is the much more extensive black on the bill. Size is less helpful unless the species are together, since the sexes of each species also differ in height.
This species may be the most numerous species of flamingo, with a population that (at its peak) probably numbered up to two million individual birds. This species feeds primarily on Spirulina, algae which grow only in very alkaline lakes. Presence of flamingo groups near water bodies is indication of sodic alkaline water which is not suitable for irrigation use. Although blue-green in colour, the algae contain the photosynthetic pigments that give the birds their pink colour. Their deep bill is specialised for filtering tiny food items.

This is the V.M 1934 zz rod by Vix motors... I just had to make a decent picture of it. Only one minor edit was required in PS, the bottom of the fold up hood was only partial shaded so my partner Tam fixed it, ain't she a peach.. ohh la la.

Vagrant.
'Its presence in Spain is very recent and, although initially it was attributed to the release or escape of specimens in captivity, it is very possible that there are specimens that come from Africa in a natural way. The requirements and breeding habits are the same as those of the Greater Flamingo.'
'In 2007 reproduction could be confirmed in the Fuente de Piedra lagoon.'

Or maybe global warming causing frequent drying out of sub-Saharan wetlands?
