Lesser flamingo (Phoenicoparrus minor)

Namibias Walvis Bay is perhaps most known for its marine life. But just a bit inland there is an explosion of life in between the huge sand dunes!

Huge reeds swaying the in wind tell of excellent conditions for life, and the large amounts of Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) are found here, but also Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus), as well as several species of water birds, like ducks and coots.

This is shot as the sun is setting, and after a long foggy day the warm rays are finally reaching the ground and the flamingos. But when the sun has set the fog will inundate the land once more.
