I sat by the lagoon in Walvis Bay, Namibia, early one morning watching the flamingos move back and forth as though they were in a dance. It was so peaceful. They have always been one of my favourite birds, and (except for the smell) it was the most fantastic and calming experience to see so many of them together. – By Jeanne Abrahams.
