The city of Mumbai is currently experiencing pleasant weather with dipping temperatures. From the start of the year 2020, the city is turning a little colder and with winter, the city sees the arrival of migratory flamingo birds. This year too, the pink-feathered birds have arrived in the city's marshy regions and one can go bird spotting to see a lot of them at once. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has shared a picture of these Flamingos, informing citizens that the migratory guests have arrived. If you too want to see these beautiful birds and observe a bit of their habitat we tell you some spots where you can see them. A picture of the flock of Flamingos flying captured by a photographer has been shared by BMC this morning.

Flamingos are tall birds, which have long, graceful necks, large wings and short tails. They are about 90 to 150 cm (3 to 5 feet) tall. When they fly they leave a beautiful sight with their pink feathers, rosy appearance wading through the skies.
