The rail was technically my 3000th bird I had seen till eBird updated the list. But I was so excited to see it that I couldn't stop shaking to get a decent photo.

A photo showing the heads and necks of three lesser flamingos. They're pink on a blurred green background. You can see straight through the nares of the flamingo in the front. Lesser flamingoes are the smallest and most abundant flamingo species. They are native to Africa, with some smaller breeding colonies extending up into Asia. Their primary breeding ground is Lake Natron- a lake so hot, salty, and alkaline that it is well known to calcify the bodies of any animals that die there. Lesser flamingos love it, though, because the cyanobacteria they prefer to eat is well adapted to the lake, and the caustic water protects their nests from predators. Soon after chicks hatch, they join creches, groups of up to 100,000 chicks. These are guided by a handful of adults, who take them on their first journey to freshwater. Much like a preschool, they spend lots of time learning how to be a flamingo among their peers and under the watchful eyes of their adults.

These guys are so strange and beautiful ❤️ 🦩species info on alt #lesserflamingo #flamingo #nature #bird #birdphotography #africa
