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 |
