Greater Flamingos at Akrotiri Salt Lake - 25. November 2019
The ranks continue to close.
Meanwhile, the Akrotiri salt lake in Limassol is filling up more and more with the pink flamingos as winter guests. At my last sighting on November 25, about 8,000 flamingos are currently present
in the salt lake. If you observe the flamingos at short distances of 30-40 meters near the mouth of the rainwater canal into the salt lake, a longer walk through the softened salt lake and
through the reed areas is required.
For this you have a very nice light at sunrise and the flamingos remain active there undisturbed.
