Flamingo pond
British Virgin Islands, Anegada

Many seabirds nest on the shores of the British Virgin Islands. A number of shallows and islets are even recognized as national reserves due to their migratory inhabitants. But among terns, pelicans and cormorants, there is one bird more noticeable than the others. At the western end of the Anegada coral reef there are a number of islets where a huge amount of flamingos gathers once a year. Previously, they could be found on almost all the islands, but due to hunting, their habitat was greatly reduced. In 1992, biologists additionally relocated a flock of 20 birds from Bermuda. Since then, the population has attracted other individuals from neighboring areas. You can watch flamingos on the shore of one of the four salt ponds that have become home to these birds.
