Latin description
Phoeniconaias minor

The Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) is the smallest flamingo species but astonishes with its massive flocks at African soda lakes. Its deep pink coloration and bright red eyes make it truly unique. The Lesser Flamingo is a stunning subject for photography, especially in motion or flying over glassy waters.
