last month, I “complained” for the lack of flamingoes on lake Natron. Well they were back in little force this week. 4 or 5 big flocks resting on the shallow waters. Well resting till I arrived of course, hee hee. Flamingoes take off like aircraft, not vertically. So buzzing them is riskless while they’re busy running and flapping their wings.
here we can see their footprints on the mud.
shadows! And not one accident during those superb formation take offs…
copped and enlarged picture for details.
