lake Natron.....

Internet  is pretty crap here sometimes...that's why I have to send 2 posts a day because one didn't go thru for 2 or 3 days. Or like today, I'm sending a second one because I'm going away for 2 days. So here we go with a bit of anticipation. For once the morning flight tomorrow will be a scenic flight around the volcano Lengai!  Let's hope for some nice weather conditions around.

in the meantime today, the lake Natron and some flamingoes.

 

little flock of flamingoes

 

another bunch of nests.

 

similar picture as the one above but enlarged. The grey mud nests are visible.

 

 

the 2 following pictures are enlarged from the previous one. Check the white eggs in the nests.

 

 

 

 

maybe I enlarged too much, but for documentary purpose.....

 

 

 

same lake, western shore.

 

and remember that petition last year to save the lake from some greedy bloody company which wanted to mine and destroy the lake for salt? The project is back to the loo where it should have stayed. On top Walt Disney has produced a film to promote the lake. Let's hope now it will be classified as a park or whatever else for good.
