Flamingos at Sewri
Sunrise at Sewri |
Pink - Flamingos at the mudflats |
Fewer flamingos come to the mudflats every year as their habitat gets destroyed |
- Flamingos are typically at the mudflats from Feb to April
- BNHS (Bombay Natural history society) organizes a day of flamingo watching (flamingo festival) – check their website for more (http://www.bnhs.org/)
- The flamingos will be closer during low tide – time your visit (Sunrise makes for some nice photos)
