Yeah I eventually returned to WWT Slimbridge!

They keep several breeds of Flamingos at the reserve, & there are six separate types in existence which are virtually identical, so please don't ask me to name this one.

Anyway I thought this photograph would help take your mind of the awful weather we are all experiencing. My hands turned red with cold yesterday having not bought any gloves along.

On a different note I've not got over familiar with my Cyber-shot camera, )o; & while I enjoy it's powerful zoom I miss the fine detail, & clarity of the old Panasonic FZ50s. By comparison the Cyber-shot lacks detail, & appears smudgy in close examination, similar too excess noise reduction.

Anyway mustn't end on a negative note, Remember it's February the 11th today once the month's gone we can look forward to spring. (o:

Edit: Since doing some research I can confirm this is a Greater Flamingo.
