Photograph of the week: Flamingos
It is not just the tourists who flock to Sardinia every year, leaving them reddened by the summer sun. Large colonies of spectacular pink flamingos are now a regular sight along the lagoons of the Saline di Molentargius Regional Park in Cagliari and in the Baja of Olbia near the Costa Smeralda airport, where thousands of people come to nest and raise their young in the lagoons.
Oristano, on the west coast, is another favorite haunt for these elegant waders who can be seen feeding on seaweed and crustaceans from the salt flats during the day before taking off in a dazzling evening show.
