Cerrertonia 8 Oct 2:36pm, 8 Oct 2024 22,081 posts	0 Cerrertonia The Camargue (Rhone delta) in France is famous for its flamingoes. It's quite common to see them in Montpellier or Arles. There are flamingoes as far north as the Netherlands, a mix of native ones that have interbred with zoo-escapee Caribbean ones.
paulcook 8 Oct 2:41pm, 8 Oct 2024 6,638 posts	0 paulcook Talking of Netherlands, and not realising what wildlife was across Europe, I read about there being 10 wolf packs in the Netherlands today. Seems they were only rewilded a few year ago and thriving.

Red Squirrel 8 Oct 8:24pm, 8 Oct 2024 24,488 posts	0 Red Squirrel I was in Naxos 30 years ago and had missed flamingos by a few days; around April time. Saw hoopoes every day and plenty of egrets, which made up for it. Also some gigantic moths.
Red Squirrel 8 Oct 8:25pm, 8 Oct 2024 24,489 posts	0 Red Squirrel There are lots of skeins of geese flying over at the moment. Not the clear v-formations of the summer, but haphazard v-ish shapes.
Red Squirrel 9 Oct 7:01pm, 9 Oct 2024 24,497 posts	0 Red Squirrel Many more geese this evening, honking away. I really feel for them. It’s been windy today and is starting to get cold. What amazing animals they are.
