  1. No way! This is so good. Bird photography is a new hobby for me and I agree it is tough, but this photo is insane! Well done. Posted 3 years ago
    1. That's so kind of you Christine, it's great to have feedback from someone who really knows how hard it can be to capture birds in the wild :-) Posted 3 years ago
  2. Amazing for any attempt - but almost unbelievable for a first attempt! Posted 3 years ago
    1. Thank you so much for your kind words Barry. I did took a lot of shots (around 200) and kept only 7 that I thought were acceptable so the success rate was very low. Posted 3 years ago
  3. If this is your first attempt, I will sell my birding lens now. Posted 3 years ago
    1. Hahaha! If it's a fujifilm telephoto lens I might buy it! :-D Posted 3 years ago

The greater flamingo is the most widespread species of the flamingo family. It is found in parts of Africa, southern Asia, and southern Europe. Some populations are short distance migrants, and sightings north of the breeding range are relatively frequent; however, given the species' popularity in captivity, whether or not these are truly wild individuals is a matter of some debate.
