Early morning at the Shiwree mud flats.


The tide did not come in much and hence the Flamingos too.
They like the waterline.


The Turns


Lesser Flamingo's feeding


we ventured into the mud, much to the dismay of the locals...


There are bogs, they said. One could go straight in up to the neck


A troop of the larger Scarlet Flamingo's came a visiting our part.


Maybe they were scouts .. ?


This is one large dude.
