The flamingo is an unusual bird, living mainly in warm and salty waters, such as lakes, lagoons and marshes. The flamingo feeds on algae, shrimps and other small aquatic animals, which are also responsible for its pink colour. The flamingo can hold its beak upside down to filter the water to catch its food. The flamingo lives in large groups, which can sometimes number thousands of birds. The flamingo is also a social bird, often moving and making sounds in sync with its peers.
This picture was taken in a zoo, where the flamingos live in a special enclosure that mimics their natural habitat as closely as possible. The photographer waited for the right moment to take this picture, when daylight fell only on this one flamingo. This allowed him to take a portrait of this bird with its head facing the camera. The photo shows the details of the flamingo's feathers, eyes and beak, which has an elegant and curious look. The photo is an ode to the flamingo, a bird that captures the imagination.
