This was shot in Tamhini Ghat in Maharashtra. It is a couple of hours from Pune and around 3 hours from Mumbai.

Flamingoes in Mumbai.

I found most of theirs colour are not pink (possibly they are juvenile or breeding season still not came yet)

They were very close to me , rather taking close portraits I thought to create habitat frames.
