Flamingo Pictures
Flamingo pictures always seem to show these ungainly looking birds in
huge flocks. The reason for that is that they find safety in their vast numbers.
A predator will have difficulty singling out a specific bird while there are
so many of them about. But if one of them is sick or injured they
become very vulnerable because they then stand out from the crowd.
This flamingo picture was taken in the Ngorongoro Crater in Kenya. The
lake supports thousand of flamingos of both the lesser and greater variety.
You will often see in flamingos pictures that the birds drag their
beaks through the water. They do this because they are filter feeders, sifting
seeds, blue-green algae, crustaceans, and molluscs from the water with a
sideways motion of their heads.
