Flamingos are said to be sedentary. They hold the same pose for an extended period. I believe we were fortunate because, within 10-15 minutes, we could see them standing in a group...then marching in one row...and when we went to the other side, we saw them fly away.

Congrats Aarti you are my winner I love that one in the centre that seems to be not playing the game "Follow The leader", Lovely reflections as well and I also like that green landscape backdrop!

Thank you Adrian, more than the award, getting praise from someone like you is a great honor for me. As I have earlier expressed that I really take inspiration from your fascinating images. Once again thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. :)
