I am not sure what type of flamingoes these are. They were taken about 2km north from the Stirling house area on a neighbouring farm called Poplar Grove. This is the first time we have ever seen these birds on this farm dam.

These are Greater Flamingos, because the bill is pink. Lesser Flamingos have a dark red, almost black, bill
