      Seeing them fly is amazing - I saw them in the Camargue in France and it was simply stunning. Posted 6 years ago

    Love the BIF against the backdrop of the mountains. The shadows on the mountain compliment the flow of flight Posted 6 years ago

The Greater flamingo

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.
