Euronews on Cyprus’ flamingos (video)

Euronews  has published a story on the flamingos who visit Cyprus’ lakes every winter.

“Greater Flamingo, the largest of six species of the pink bird, have returned en masse to Cyprus. Flamingos return each winter to feed on shrimp in Cyprus’ salt lakes,” Euronews writes.
