Rosaflamingo / Flamant rose / Phoenicopterus roseus
-
Wild flamingos are really rare to be seen here in Switzerland. In Agust 2011 a small troop (1 adult, 8 immatures) flew up from Italy and rested in a wildlife sanctuary near Zurich. The adult left after a few days but the immatures stayed there till 7 of them left in October. The remaining immature also left the place but not the region and passed the winter 2011/12 near Rapperswil at the lake of Zurich.
