j'aime sentir leur vol lourd, la façon géniale qu'il a de soulever sa masse et leur légèreté en vol, après... Exactement comme nous quoi ;) Bon w-e**

Je pense que c'est un Flamingo, mais différents de coloration que la nôtre.
I love the one on the right, in the air!
Happy Easter, Marie.

Such a beautiful scene so well captured, such interesting birds, and love how in this shot you have them in so many different positions from standing feeding to flying

@JJ: The flamingos move and call all the time (the call is a goose-like honking) . Thank you JJ !
