Flame birds of Mumbai


Come April and Mumbai's mudflats  are graced by deep hue of pink .Indeed ,a magical scene in the heart of the city.







The flamingos cannot survive intense heat and cold hence known to migrate from faraway places Siberia ,Africa and Nigeria to Rann of Kutch in Gujarat for breeding activities.


They fly down to the wetlands of Mumbai in search of food.



On a sunny Sunday morning I was all geared up to click the favorite guests of the season ''Flamingos''.Reached the bridge over Airoli creek and as luck would have it got hold of a boatman to take us close to the  birds . When the tide was low entered the murky waters and my excitement  knew no bounds as we were getting closer to flame birds.....


Flamingos all around wading, flying, diving, fishing,frolicking ,splashing and feeding in algae-filled waters. I was simply dumbstruck by the pink panorama......and just kept clicking....







This is for all the bird lovers in Mumbai or planning to pay a visit to the financial capital of the country take some time out for the most enchanting experience of your life ....


HAPPY BIRDING...!!
