11-05-2026 Flamingos fully engaged in breeding season

The flamingos have now made significant progress in their breeding season. Depending on the time of day and the conditions, between 40 and 50 birds are currently present at the breeding site. This number changes regularly, as some birds rest at nearby locations while others are actively tending to the nests.

At the moment, around 20 flamingos are gathered at a resting area, while 14 nests are currently occupied. This suggests that the season is developing positively so far. The calm conditions at the site and the stable occupation of the nests provide reason for cautious optimism.

The breeding season has now entered its fourth phase. The first phase began with the arrival of the flamingos at the breeding grounds. This was followed by courtship, partner selection and mating, during which the birds formed pairs through their remarkable group behaviour and rituals. Afterwards came the phase in which suitable nesting sites were selected and defended.

The next important stage has now begun: incubating the eggs. During this period, the parent birds take turns sitting on the nests and invest considerable energy in protecting the eggs from disturbances and weather conditions. The coming weeks will be crucial for the further development of the season.

If conditions remain favourable, the first young flamingos may hatch later this spring. For now, the colony appears stable and actively engaged in the continuation of the breeding process.
