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...

    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!

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.

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.🙂

    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!!!
