Observation details
Seen among huge flock of greater flamingos. Counted from one end to the other and rounded off to the nearest 10. This was my first sighting of Lesser flamingos from South India. Have seen them at Jamnagar before, but that wasn't as exciting as this one, as this was totally unexpected! I was just scanning one huge flock of Greater Flamingos through camera from one end to the other for counting purpose and at one point these Lesser Flamingos appeared on the screen! Later, I could observe them very well through scope at the watchtower, thanks to AP forest department.
