Yes, we have them here. Lots of them actually. High density count in 2008 was supposedly something around 3000 (Spring migration).

I wasn’t lucky enough to see that many, but in autumn migration last year I got to see around 250 of them.

When we went to the same spot last weekend for the beach clean-up I counted around 30.

Some of the Flamingos breed here.

The above photos were taken during autumn migration in 2010. The one that’s sort of grey is a Juvenile.

The one below last weekend (flyby shooting ;) ). I think the one flying in front is a 1st summer bird?
