Flamingo (Greater)

Phoenicopterus roseus

Description:

Tall wading birds. Light pink with pink bills edged in black. Thin pink legs. Wings have streaks of darker pink.For me this was the culmination of a dream...having seen fabulous shots of these birds on calendars for so many years to finally sight them...the pink contrasted against the blues of the sky and the sea...!!!

Habitat:

Little Rann of Kutch...

Notes:

we saw these by chance as we were driving down the highway...at other places (Jamnagar, Khijidiya Bird sanctuary or even, at Thol bird sanctuary near Ahmedabad . .all in Gujarat.) these were too far away for my camera's zoom.
