Birding at the Kom

Took a walk on the wild side today. Only joking, unfortunately, but it was a walk to the Kom to see the wildlife. The flamingos were pinker today than I remember them last time. Must have been feeding on something extra special! They were quite active and fluffed out their feathers beautifully for the camera.

 There were plenty of other birds around if you looked past the glamour and the smaller varieties are just as quirky as their long-legged cousins. We are so fortunate to have such close and easy access to the wonders of the natural world, right on our doorstep. A good camera and pair of binoculars aid in lessening the frustration when trying to observe and identify birds, and I am a long way off being always at the ready. It's more a case of hit and miss, but the hits are getting more frequent and one day I will invest in a great camera!
