I read your blogs regularly and I must...Hi Deepa, <br /><br />I read your blogs regularly and I must say they are a wonderful read. I also feel proud to be a Mumbaikar and love this city with all its virtues and vices.<br /><br />The flemingoes site at Sewri is truly mesmerizing given the fact that such an event happens right in the mid of this crowded city. I had also visited it recently and viewing them thru binoculars is a sight one must never miss. I felt very sad to see few of the local visitors throwing all kinds of garbage near the jetty in the mud which is the livlihood for these visitors. I have never seen an animal as destructive as human being!Amrutanshuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556627758915210495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-19717397651324267652009-12-30T13:22:41.840+05:302009-12-30T13:22:41.840+05:30hi.. was nice read about the flamingoes. i am from...hi.. was nice read about the flamingoes. i am from outside Maharashtra..can you pls tell me where to go exactly to see the flamingoes.. i guess Sewri is a big town, right? thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-13547535729569353022009-12-19T19:55:48.662+05:302009-12-19T19:55:48.662+05:30http://74.125.153.132/search?q=cache:HXpE-NRr36EJ:...http://74.125.153.132/search?q=cache:HXpE-NRr36EJ:timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Flamingoes-make-a-timely-entry-this-yrSimit-Bhagat-tnn/articleshow/5245186.cms+Sewri+mudflats+flamingos&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=in<br /><br />Check this out and you will see the difference in the white and pink flamingos. While the greater flamingoes are taller (125-145 cm) and white in colour, the lesser flamingoes stand 80-90 cm in height and are pink.Aadil Desaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269350305126694091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-79387811886452324102009-12-11T16:19:17.229+05:302009-12-11T16:19:17.229+05:30I found your blog yesterday!

Interesting fact about the tongues and beaks. Planning a trip to Sewri someday soon. I suppose they must be the same flamingos I saw in the Kutch region some time ago since they usually come here to feed and go there to breed!!!Aadil Desaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269350305126694091noreply@blogger.com
