Most Instagram fans will take a photo of their mates on a city street, or
perhaps snap a nice bit of scenery to add to their photo library.But 57-year
-old Martin Harvey decided to go a little further afield - Kenya to be exact
- and get the photograph of a lifetime.In his amazing shot, scores of pink
flamingos - all facing to the right like an amassed army - are captured
beneath a brooding sky. More of their comrades fly overhead, and the whole
image is saturated in rich colour that gives it an eerie dream-like quality
Pink and proud: This amazing Instagram shot shows a group of flamingos fly
above the main flock during their annual feeding pilgramage to Lake Bogoria,
Kenya
I pink there's something going on: A million-and-a-half lesser flamingos
create a brilliant display of colour as they pack into Kenya's Lake Borgoria
Birds of a feather, swim together: The colourful creatures are pictured
swimming in close formation together across the immense salt lake
Flight of fancy: The colourful creatures - normally more dispersed across
the region - arrived in huge numbers to gorge on cyanobacteria
Having a blast: A flock of flamingos stand in front of the ten geysers of
Lake Bogoria which can erupt over five metres high
The spectacular image was one of dozens Mr Harvey, 57, captured while
spending two weeks living among the birds.
He took a helicopter ride above the flock and also patiently crept amongst
them for more intimate shots. As a wildlife photographer, something like
this just blows my mind,' said the father-of-two, from Pretoria, South
Africa. It is the greatest ornithological spectacle that I think anyone can
experience.'The colourful creatures - normally more dispersed across the
region - arrived in huge numbers to gorge on cyanobacteria.
Wave: The birds create an incredible spectacle as they line the edge of the
lake
Standing room only: The spectacular scenes were captured by wildlife
photographer Martin Harvey, 57, who spent two weeks among the birds
Mr Harvey, a father-of-two from Pretoria South Africa said: 'As a wildlife
photographer, something like this just blows my mind
Synchronised swimming: The beautiful birds flock together on the water just
as they do in the air
Twilight fly past: A flock of the magnificent creatures swoop just above the
water in the beautiful evening light
Close call: Three flamingos flying in tight formation showing off their
brilliant pink and black plumage and purple beaks
Grace: With their legs stretched, wings spread and incredible curved necks,
the birds create an awesome sight as they take-off from the surface of the
lake
Who's following who? A close up of a flock of flamingos treading their way
across the lake as they forage for food
Miracle of nature: The colourful creatures - normally more dispersed across
the region - arrive in huge numbers to gorge on their favourite food - a
greenish blue algae known as cyanobacteria
Flight, camera, action: Flocks of flamingos gather on Lake Bogoria, Kenya.
Photographer Martin Harvey said they were very noisy and very smelly
He added: 'They were all honking and making noise and flying around. They
are very noisy and active - and smelly, obviously. They react to you when
you first approach, but if you keep quiet they don't react too badly and
they will soon circle down and accept you. It was absolutely fantastic. It
is one of those things that will live on in my mind.
Pink invasion: A massive flock of the birds gather by the shores of the salt
lake
Letting off steam: A flock of flamingos stand next to one of the
lake's many geysers but appear totally unfazed as it erupts in the
background
Red alert: A group of the colourful birds take-off en masse their red legs
in beautiful contrast to the muddy water
Chins up legs straight: After capturing the incredible images Martin Harvey
used the popular internet app Instagram to create a unique, other-worldly
effect
Photographer Martin Harvey commented: 'They react to you when you first
approach, but if you keep quiet they don't react too badly and they will
soon circle down and accept you
Bird bath: A few off the birds wash themselves as other members of the flock
watch on
The birds form a curious crescent formation as they take off over the green
waters of the salt lake
Force of nature: Photographer Martin Harvey took a helicopter ride above the
flock and also patiently crept in amongst them for more intimate shots
It is the greatest ornithological spectacle that I think anyone can
experience,' - photographer Martin Harvey
