Flock of Greater Flamingos spotted at Bot River Lagoon

Greater Flamingo scientifically classified as ‘phoenicopterus roseus’

They appear mostly white at rest.                                                                                                                                                     

In flight you can clearly see the salmon- pink on the wings and the black flight feathers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

This is the larger of the two African flamingos.They have very long legs and neck.

The face and bill are pale pink with a black bill tip.                                                                                                                            

What a pleasure to observe this beautiful flock enjoying new feeding grounds as the Bot River Lagoon fills up.
