Here come the girls (and boys!).

Here come the girls (and boys!).

A quick update from the gloriously sunny grounds of WWT Slimbridge. The dancing has really taken off in the South American Pen this morning, with all of the Chilean flamingo and all of the Andean flamingos joining in together for some top-class marching action. If this beasutiful weather holds (and we get a few heavy down pours so it feels really "tropical" to the birds) this activity will be converted into eggs and chicks in the near future. 

Chilean (front) and Andean (rear) flamingos marching en masse in the South American Pen. This group activity is key to successful reproduction in flamingos so keep a look out for it on your visit.
