FLAMINGOS AT KORATTUR LAKE

            Today [14.10.16 -- Fri.] we chanced upon the sighting of a bunch of flamingos at Korattur lake. As it was nearly dark [around 6 pm], we could not ascertain whether they were Greater or Lesser. But there were, big and small (possibly young) ones. They could be seen from the tiled bund; 

            They were there for a few more minutes before flying off finally. This is the first time, I have seen the flamingos at Korattur lake. Great. 

Note: On 16.10.16 (Sun.), we went to the Karukku side of the Korattur Lake and could get a clear view of them; the flamingos are GREATER ones; they settled down at around 6:45 am and there were nearly 30 of them. Could these be the ones taking the Eastern Route to Sri Lanka?
