Desaster at Flamingo colony at kamfer Dam

Flamingo cam, Africam

It looks like the flood covered the nests and washed out little chicks and eggs ...Is this the end of the breeding season ..? or maybe flamingos will start to breed again if water level becomes lower ??? This shows how vulnerable is this colony at Kamfers Dam ..and the fears of the 'Save the flamingos' group came true ...
Let's hope it will motivate the authorities to protect the wetland...one of the four sites in world where the Lesser Flamigos breed

















At start I could see two survivors ...one couldn't stand at all ...few minutes later it was lost into the water ...
