Flamingo Webcam

The Caribbean Flamingo webcam is back!

Our flamingo flock is out on view in the Walled Garden, skimming for algae in their lagoon area. Should there be bad windy weather, they will go into shelter for their protection.

LATEST NEWS!
The first flamingo egg of the season was laid by Penelope. It was due to hatch on the 1st June, but sadly for her and her mate Colin, it is now well overdue and so will not be fertile, maybe they laid too early. At some point Penelope and Colin will abandon their nest and then the Keepers we remove the egg to learn anything they can from it.

But we do have the second egg laid by Edwina and Anthony on the 1st June (nest towards the back left) which we are more positive about, as they had been seen mating. This pair are also Derek’s parents (our only previous flamingo chick), so it is much more promising. Edwina’s egg is due to hatch at the end of June, fingers crossed for a brother or sister for Derek.

Derek  is the only previous successful hatching back in 2019, and was hand-reared by Keeper Becky Waite. You can see the full diary of what happened HERE.

DEREK was our first ever Caribbean Flamingo chick and hatched back in 2019.

Derek was hand-reared by Keeper Becky Waite with the help of the rest of the Keeper team.

We had to wait until dna analysis of the egg shell before we knew if Derek (the name Becky gave the chick initially) was male or female. We got so used to ‘Derek’, that when we got confirmation she was female we decided to keep the name.
