    Thanks so much Tina, I always thought flamingoes (should there be an ‘e’ there?) were large birds but this little group were quite small, much shorter than I’d expected :))

  • FelicityB replied

    Thanks for your lovely comment Troy, they were much smaller than I’d imagined they would be, so perhaps they were miniatures
