James-Flamingo an der Laguna Hedionda. Man dachte, die Art sei ausgestorben, bis man sie 1956 im Andenhochland "wiederentdeckte". de.wikipedia.org/wiki/James-Flamingo

Wunderschön, diese tollen Tiere in der Freiheit beobachten zu können...
Ich hatte die Gelegenheit sie in einem Wildgehege bei Pastrengo in Norditalien sehen zu können.

Gudrun ^club has replied to ©UdoSm

Herzlichen Dank, Udo! Die fühlen sich dort in der Höhe sehr wohl, ich frage mich, wie die die italienische Hitze vertragen...

Gudrun ^club has replied to Erika Akire

Schönen Dank, Erika! Ja, das ist abgelegen dort oben, deswegen dachte man auch, die seien ausgestorben:-)

A lovely set of images Gudrun. These are really beautiful birds and you've captured them in excellent detail and colour.

I especially like the image in the 2nd PiP for the pose!

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thanks very much, Keith! The PiPs are very much cropped and not quite sharp enough to be seen full size;-) I had a lousy lens at that time...

Flamingos mögen diese Lagunen. Wir haben auch viele in der Camargue beobachten können. Tolle Fotos !

da dachten sie sie hätten sich gut versteckt und dann findet Mensch sie doch ;-)

Quite redish feathers, must have red shrimp or crabs there?

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Obrigada, Isabel! Tiny crabs and algae, I think the algae also contain carotin.

Oh, this is a wonderful series, Gudrun. They are really up to their knees in it. :))

Gudrun ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Thanks a lot, Karen! There also was quite a lot of sulphurous mud and a certain rotten egg smell;-)

6 years ago.

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Oh dear. I hope they don't get sick from it. I know that can kill fish.

They seem to thrive on it:-)

Uli F. ^club

Niemals hätte ich in den Höhen der Anden Flamingos vermutet, wo man sie doch eigentlich nur auf Meereshöhe kennt. Herrliche Aufnahmen!

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Uli F. ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Uli! Im Andenhochland gibt es eine erstaunlich reiche Vogelwelt, allein 3 Flamingoarten brüten dort. Die brauchen flache Gewässer mit Krebstierchen und Algen, die Höhe macht denen nichts.

Dida From Augsburg ^club

Der eine muss noch mehr Krebse futtern, damit er auch so schön rosa wird! ;-D

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Dida From Augsburg ^club

Schönen Dank, Dida! Könnte sein, dass das ein Junger ist, die brauchen 2-3 Jahre, bis sie richtig rot werden.

Fascinating color variation.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Esther ^club

Many thanks, Esther! I guess the pale one is still young, they only get stronger colours at 2-3 years old.
