Birds of Lake Nakuru National Park
Greater Flamingo
Lake Nakuru was extremely high in December 2011, which made it less good for the algae on which the flamingo feed to thrive. As a consequence, there were no big flocks of flamingos but a lot of pelicans. There were still a few flamingos though and this one was feeding next to the track, in a little puddle.
