Flamingo's are not something i tend to take pictures of, but after a dull day trying to take pictures of waders, this put a bit of colour into the camera.......:lol:

Taken at WWT Slimbridge. 500mm + 1.4 tc. (overkill really )

Thanks for the replies...........

Accentor, must be a nice garden, but your flamingos look a bit pale......;)

Alan B, if i tell you i know you'll want one...............and your already too good...............:lol: :lol: , it's a 1DmkIIn ( lovely beast ) the picture was taken at the end of a long day lugging camera gear about, and was taken as quick snapshot handheld before packing gear away.
