Flying Flamingo Flamboyance (Aerial Photo) - Botswana

[DHL]

I had an opportunity to do some “doors off”, aerial photography over the Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana last January. Rain was infrequent during last rainy season, but I was fortunate that it rained just prior to my arrival, there was some water in the pans and the migration of zebra, wildebeest and flamingos was underway. This image of flying flamingos was captured from a helicopter in the vicinity of Kubu Island.

I can almost hear the theme from “out of Africa”! Must have been thrilling.

Nice photo and bonus points for using the correct term for a group of flamingos.

I had never tried this before and it was amazing. There were thousands of flamingos!

Thank you! Yes, a flamboyance! I had to double check the spelling. Lol
