Took a picture of this flamingo in Airoli Creek in Navi Mumbai a couple of months back. Airoli creek is just behind my house, in fact I can see the flamingoes and mudflats from my balcony at the 11th floor. Recently the entire stretch from Thane Creek to Vashi Mudflats has been proclaimed Flamingo Sanctuary and a protected area. But with a flyover passing over the sanctuary, people dump plastic and other rubble thereby inflicting damage to the mudflats which house the flamingoes 6 to 7 months an year apart from other birds. Indeed a sad sight. Like the expressways stopping on the flyover should be prohibited.
