phoenicopterus roseus

grootflamink/greater flamingo/phoenicopterus roseus

 

We once visited Nakuru Park in Kenya and paid the hefty $80pp in order to see the huge flocks of flamingos, but only a few were there. (Of course at the gate they did not tell us).

 

Here in the sewage pans in CapeTown (Strandfontein) you can see huge flocks for free, a fantastic birding place.

 

They are such gracious flyers!.
