Greater Flamingo |
My name is Andrew Pickles and I am a Wildlife and Nature Enthusiast. My main subject is Birds and Bird Ringing, but enjoy anything to do with Nature. This blog is to showcase some of the wonderful animals and birds within Southern Africa and especially in my home area of Southern Kwazulu Natal. I am currently working on Barn Swallow migration between my home patch of Umzumbe and Europe, with a possible link to Chernobyl, news of this can be obtained on my website listed under the links.

Greater Flamingo on the Umzumbe River
Periodically we get unusual birds arriving in our area and this week we were lucky enough to have an adult Greater Flamingo arrive. Although not a rarity they are very uncommon in this area so at least there was something different to look at instead of the usual birds. On Thursday there was also a Great White Egret close by. below are a few photos of the Flamingo and Egret.
