The Lesser Flamingo (Phoenicoparrus minor) is a species of flamingo occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. 
Lesser flamingos do not migrate and they live in big colonies with sometimes more than 1 million birds. They are mostly active at night. They fly between water bodies in large, V-shaped formations when food sources have become depleted. Even when food is plentiful, flocks may sometimes fly between water sources during the day. Lesser flamingos have no sense of smell and not much sense of taste. Eyesight is important for group activities. They flash their wing's back feathers to communicate. Hearing also plays an important role in communication both between adults and for chicks and parents. The adults are able to identify their offspring through its sounds. These birds often form subgroups within larger groups.

These beautiful flamingo, busy feeding at sunrise was captured during a photography safari on an early morning game drive along the shores of the swamps in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
