Flamingoes In Menorca - for Stan!

[lunarbo]

I hesitate to lift my head above the Bird Parapet when there are many more-abled bird toggers on here.

Apart from one fine winters day 18 months ago when 3 birds- an adult and 2 juves- just stopped for a breather, I have never seen any flamingoes on the island

But this pair of adolescent flamingoes have seemingly settled here in Menorca- I have seen them here for over a month now, mostly just out of reasonable range of my 400mm lens!

So this post is for Stan whom I am sure will do them full justice when he arrives here later on in the year. They are at Ses Salines

They look good to me....I'm no bird photographer either though.

Re: Flamingoes In Menorca - for Stan!

not a bird you would have thought would venture to Menorca. Will have to keep a lookout although they may have gone by October
