Rain brings more flamingos earlier to Larnaca Salt Lake (video)

Recent rain has raised the water level at Larnaca Salt Lake and brought flamingos to the area earlier, with more birds arriving than last year.

The first flamingos appeared on the main salt lake about a month ago, but the latest rainfall has multiplied the number of arrivals, and the birds have now spread to the smaller salt lakes nearby.

The flamingos that visit Cyprus are the largest of the six flamingo species in the world. They are nomadic and travel very long distances in search of suitable habitats, such as shallow brackish lakes or salt lakes.
