Flamingos in Chennai
I made a quick trip to Chennai aka Madras last month on the inaugural run of the double decker train between Chennai and Bangalore and here is what I found. On a dull morning, we saw several flamingos in the marshes of Pallikarnai. This is a first for me as I have not seen flamingos before in Madras.
There are about two lakh flamingos left in the country. And Flamingos are more common at Pulicat Lake, around 60km north of Chennai. The Pics you have shared are very nice. Seems like you are professional photographer.

First time for me to see or hear about flamingos visited Pallikaranai Marsh!! Awesome photo Lakshmi
They are beautiful. A friend of mine told me about Pallikaranai marsh and it’s a great place for bird-watching! Never believed it then. Your pics are too good!
Nice pics indeed 🙂 at my place i am fortunate to see flamingos at Bhigwan which is just ~100 kms from Pune
It really looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures.
These famous pink birds can be found in warm, watery regions on many continents. They favor environments like estuaries and saline or alkaline lakes. Considering their appearance, flamingos are surprisingly fluid swimmers, but really thrive on the extensive mud flats where they breed and feed.
Wow ! Lovely captures of flamingos. Good to know that they arrive at pallikaranai marsh 🙂 But sadly I haven’t been there yet being in Chennai. I hope that I will get a chance in near future. Thanks for sharing Lakshmi 🙂
