As with all my other attempts to photograph flamingos over the past few years, I was only able to snap a few fuzzy pictures of them in the distance.
I knew their necks were long, but when extended they enter another realm.
These are the greater flamingos and if you want more information on them pop into the Wikipedia site.
I am definitely going to have to make time to get some quality shots one day. Shy birds in the distance, camera shake and howling winds do not make a good combination, so next time I will use a tripod.

It is stunning to see them in such great numbers when they are breeding. Great shots Max.
They do look amazing when they open their wings. I often wonder if those who live on the old salt pans at Coega will find their way to one of the other areas as that part is developed.
I got flamingos at the zoo. I like yours much better. You have a great selection of posts since I visited a few days ago.
I love that first shot; it's stunning. I can almost hear their wonderful honking calls (and smell them of course!).
Amazing birds in that part of the world! I get very excited watching birds. Great post!
Wonderful colourful shots. (I never knew their underwings were such a different colour). Just beautiful - Thanks :)
I shall certainly be back, to see your better post on flamingoes! This one is so interesting, I am looking forward to more!!
