With pink flamingos en route to the coast of the Mediterranean have decided to spend the winter in the Crimea.

lodged Adzhigol birds on the lake near the village of Seaside in Feodosiya district.

Research Associate Karadag Natural Reserve, Igor Sikorsky told how he discovered these wondrous birds: "When I looked at them through binoculars, I thought it was a swan, but after looking better, I saw that they strongly bent beaks. Then I realized that was wrong. The flamingo, swan-sized, and when you look at them, it seems they are floating, but in fact they are standing on the feet and the water is fit just below the torso, from this and such an effect. They are gray, with black-edged wings, and I concluded that the young birds, because the pink flamingo has a color it is young people. Then they become more vivid pink and bright white.
