I was thrilled to spot the flamingo when I went out this morning. Apparently, it comes every year. It used to have a mate, but it's not around now. The park bought a model one so it felt at home.
Flamingoes are such an incredible colour. I've only seen them at a distance before, on the salt lake outside Larnaca in Cyprus. There, they looked like a soft cloud of pink, whereas this one is a vibrant coral-red. It has that interesting beak for filtering the water and the great long neck and legs. I guess this is a safe place for it before it migrates for the winter.
Apparently, flamingos can travel about 600 km (373 miles) in a night, their preferred time to fly.
Very typical landscape here, not far above sea level, almost part of the estuary. The wheat is almost ready to harvest. Other fields are full of sweetcorn, it's grown about four feet in a few weeks. Plants seem to have between one and three ears of corn.
There's lots of blackberries, too.
