The passage is common to these two species of flamingos photographed in Tanzania - the greater flamingo and the lesser flamingo. These birds were almost always photographed together. To watch thousands of flamingos we went to Lake Natron in northern Tanzania. This is where the majority of the lesser flamingo population lives and reproduces. The lake itself is quite an extraordinary saltwater reservoir. After heavy downpours at rainy season the lake can reach 850 km² with the average depth of several dozen centimeters.

In the environment depicted in the description of the spoon-billed sandpiper there were thousands of birds which would fly in enormous flocks of hundreds of specimens between shallow water reservoirs.   The same was with great knots, Eurasian curlews and the three species of plovers. Sometimes there were so many of them that it was hard to choose what to photograph. The birds, sitting peacefully on dams, often cut the distance to us significantly.

I have managed to take the first pictures of a Greater Scaup while on my winter trip to Świnoujście, in February 2013. Most probable place was a brakewater near the city's distinctive windmill. Sitting calmly, protected from the wind I could observe how the water birds were getting more comfortable gradually swimming by closer. Greater Scaup, as you can see on the pictures in the gallery, were flying by in little flocks. Unfortunately, they landed too far for my expectations.
