January visitors: Flamingos in the pond of the Florence airport

For several years, in winter, many pink flamingos stay for several weeks in the large pond near the Florence airport. It happened again this year: a group of about 60 units arrived. Many young people but also several fully coloured adults. So, on a sunny day, I took a short vacation of a few hours to come and observe them. Flamingos - Fenicotteri.
