Hi and thanks for your kind words ! This is a truly spectacular sight, seeing hundreds of thousands of flamingos at one place... !! These can be identified as Lesser Flamingo because of e.g. small size (seen in the field) and all-dark bill among other features. A few Greater Flamingos can also be seen there, but not in flocks like this.
