One of my favorite species is the greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus), however, they are very suspicious and therefore it is not easy to be close to them to record their behavior. And I visit many places where they occur and look for food, like salt flats. On this day I was making a reconnaissance visit, I didn't take camouflage nets, nor a photography shelter. And when I noticed that there was a small group of flamingos in this salt flat, I had to try to take advantage of it, but without scaring them away. I saw a small bush by the bank, that I could crawl close to it, through the shaded area. And so it was, after a few minutes of crawling through the dry mud, I reached the other side and lay down for an hour photographing them. During this period, it was possible to understand some hierarchy that existed between them, and to photograph some behaviors. From moving, landing, scratching the head and finally turning the head to remove excess water.
