Camera Critters: Pigeon Having A Drink, Rhodes Town

I took this pigeon taking a sip of water from the main fountain in Rhodes recently on my summer cruise to the mediterranean, we had experienced stiflingly hot and humid temperatures, it had been 105 degrees in Athens, so it wasn't surprising that the local pigeons were needing a drink.

Camera Critters: Small Waders on Princess Cays Island

Taken early morning at the Princess Cruises® private resort on the Island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas on Christmas Eve, these small waders ( unsure what breed they are) were wandering around the beach, possibly looking for worms or other sand creatures to eat.

Camera Critters: Caribbean Flamingo @ Flamingo Gardens, Florida

Because my sister and I had a late afternoon flight back home, we decided to take a post cruise tour of the Everglades and the Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida.

This sweet flamingo came close to us to eat some nibbles being offered by a fellow passenger on the tour.

This special sanctuary in the district of Davie in Florida, brings in birds and other species that have been hurt by either man or other animals and when they recover, they are released back into the wild. If somehow the owners cannot do this, then any offspring born will be released.

This species is a Caribbean Flamingo and his bright scarlet plumage is from the Vitamin A rich shellfish and other food given to him. In the wilds, Flamingo feed on Algae and Algae rich shellfish which characterises its pink plumage. In the sanctuary they slightly over-do their diet, hence the scarlet colouring.
