Looking for Beautiful Birds

They were beautiful.  They had sleek bodies,  graceful with slender necks and the longest legs.  They had glamorous attire with just a touch of pink.  They were somewhat aloof and definitely distant.

Yes we went looking for the flamingoes of Cagliari.

We walked for literally kilometres along the paths around the lake and marshes.  We suspected that they were in hides watching us, making comments like:
"I just saw a pair of rare Australian hotbods wintering on our shores"
"You would think that they would stick their heads under the water to cool off like us"

We found the flamingoes but they were certainly aloof and distant.

Our best close up of the flamingoes!

The flamingoes have recently hatched their babies that are little bundles of brown fuzz.  Not surew if that is one in the foreground or if it is the reeds blowing in the breeze.
