Fenicottero Rosa
A flock of greater flamingos in the Po river lagoon. In Italian they are called fenicottero rosa and they are quite common in the lagoons of Northern Italy. One can usually find them in river mouths of Po, Isonzo, Brenta and Adige rivers among other places.

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.
