flamingo

Arusha NP, Tanzania
The sight  and sound of thousands of flamingoes is a true delight,
the pink and red colours comes from crustaceans (small shrimp-like creatures).
In Lake Nakuru, Kenya more than 1 million has been counted!
Due to agricultural spills this number is highly reduced, also Africa
has its environment problems!
