A day full of pink :)

I had no much time to watch ..no more than an hour this morning ...Lesser flaningos were at nests ...and I would like to see the little one again ...Glad I saw also the Grey headed Gull having bath and the Black winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus) and a new species for me the African Shelduck (Tadorna cana) ...It was a pair exactly at the bottom of the cam ...Thanks to Hanneke who ID it ..(no time even to search for it :) ) Sorry if you come to see mammals ...but I enjoy the birds exactly the same (or ..more)...Special when I see for first time Lesser flamingos in front of the cam during the breeding season ..OK last year we had the cam too but the streaming video was so bad that almost all watched from the refreshing ..Still refreshing cam gives better quality pics ..but it is totally different to see the live thing happens in front of your eyes ...
Have fun ..I hope tommorow I will be more lucky to catch something else for you too
