Photographing OVER 150,000 FLAMINGOS | Part Of The Flock Ep. 1 - A BED OF ROSES | Bird Photography
Part Of The Flock is a bird photography series where I'll bring you up close with some of India's resident and migratory birds.
Episode 1 - A Bed Of Roses:
In recent years, Lesser Flamingos have been migrating to Navi Mumbai in unfathomable numbers. Their figures have gone up from 120,000 in 2019 to over 150,000 in 2021, due to reduced human activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mumbai now hosts India's second largest congregation of Flamingos after Kutch.
This episode features behaviours like the iconic Flamingo courtship dance / mating ritual, 4k 120fps slow motion footage, and it also sheds light on some of the threats that their wetland habitats face.
Thanks to Aishwarya Sridhar, Siddhartha Ganesh, Kiyan Mugaseth, Veerabhadra Rao Kalakonda and Arijit Mahata for being a part of this episode.
Special thanks to Accord Equips for sending me the Sony A7S III along with the G Master 100-400mm & 200-600mm super telephoto zoom lenses.
Still photographs were captured on my Canon 5D IV using the 200-400mm & 24-70mm f2.8 II lenses.
Filmed at DPS Lake, Nerul, Navi Mumbai.

Everytime you post a photo in between, it feels like I'm on Instagram & start to double tap the screen. I have really been binge watching your videos since the last week & it has really blew me away - as to how you picturise all the things that you shoot & the vision which you have in your mind which we get see while just sitting at home , cleary it feels like a real life 3D movie...

Hahaha! Glad you're enjoying the videos, my friend. 😃🤙🏼
Amazing video!. Your photography is amazing. I love the fact that you tried your best to save the life of a near dead flamingo and cleaning the lake . Amazing!
First of all, I would like to welcome you to KZread. I like your channel so far for bringing to light the problem cities approach brings to wild life. And I'm not blaming people; You have to have somewhere to live. The problem lies with the politicians greed and lack of concern of the environment around them. Videos like this will bring that to light. Nice work man. Peace!
The production quality of this video is just INSANE!!! Great work !
I can watch your videos 1000 times. A real stress releaser... Last part of video forced me to do something for minimising the pollution. Last week while shooting Little cormorant near a river in my town I came across the same water pollution.
Sir u r capturing a paradise of birds
Excellent story telling and beautiful Photography & videography. Keep up the great work Kenneth.
The wait was so worth it! Some of your captures are simply breathtaking... A spectacle so masterfully captured! A heartfelt message and call to action at the end. I for one am really inspired to do something... Hope your message reaches many more people! Waiting for the second episode!
This video in particular, has been a feast to my eyes. I love flamingos. It is amazing how gracefully they fly and make their landing.
Truly spectacular and mind blowing footage - they are such an elegant species. Very good narration, professional like NGC or Animal Planet. Hats off 🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏼👏🏼
I dont understand why you dont have subscribers. 😲 Your content is gold.
Marvelous!! Great work bro! Hats off to the superb filming. Only today stumbled upon your series and I must confess, they are highly addictive... Am binge watching. 😍😍
This is super amazing !! What video skills you have man, superb !!
*As close as THEY will allow me* Only a true wildlife lover can say this , which you are , shows in your work kenneth
Best part of the video was the last few minutes... A great message to the people of India, who have been trashing the lakes, ponds and every bit of life line resources the birds are relying on.
So beautifull and instructive video! Thanks!
Another masterpiece Kenneth !! I did not realise how quickly 38 minutes passed. Absolutely brilliant photography combined with fascinating story-telling takes this video to the next level. Superb narration also, well paced-out and great diction. Besides watching great stories one can learn a lot from your films; about nature, wildlife and photography. Pleasure to watch always.

Thank you so much. Very glad you enjoyed it! 😃🙌🏼✨
That would certainly be blissful....thanks for the warm invite!!
Wonderful 👌👌👌Looking forward to more videos
Your wide-angle shot of flamingoes is just making me more enthusiastic about taking an 11-16 lens next time I visit Sundarbans
I saw all your videos in one sitting and i must say they are addictive and more important what i like are the concerns that you raise and how we can protect and be a responsible human being. Truly inspiring!!!
Wow......... Wonderful images and footages. Thank you so much for the video.
Hi Kenneth, I just discovered your channel last night when your snow leopard in Spiti was suggested to me by You Tube and I was absolutely blown away by the film! I personally think that yours is a world class wildlife photography channel and I look forward to discovering India's immense wildlife diversity through the magic of your lens. Needless to say but the photography is stunning. Keep up the good work and I wish you and your team all the very best in your future projects.🙂

Sir you are too good! How wonderfully you make videos. Just show this one & I was mesmerized...❣️✨
In and go ,elegant , elusive flamingos , filmed faithfully, by one aflame with loving concern for you! Stepping gingerly on marshy spots , close and upfront, he patiently awaits your arrival , ready for anything, wooing the unknown and bowing in gratitude when blessed by grace to immortalise the pink luminosity of your lyrical lives, ballet dancing your way through shimmering waters, co-existing in harmony, braving dogs , debris and contaminated waters .Well done, yet again , dearest Ken, picking up whatever man-made garbage you could and urging all to avert avian tragedies, even as you sang the elegiac swan song for the departed birdie .Long live flamingos and Ken , their dear friend!!!

Your many beautiful words always make my day! Next time, we must venture out together; experiencing these events live breaks through the limitations of surrealism.
Love these behind the scenes vlogs which gives us a perspective and setting of the environment in which the birds are present. Informative and beautiful as always 🙌🏻
