  • Imperial Cormorant or King Shag or King Cormorant (Phalacrocorax atriceps albiventer)<br />
Nesting on a Pink Pond. Steeple Jason Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
RANGE: Coasts of South America, Subantarctic Islands, Antarctic Peninsula<br />
They usually breed in closely packed colonies often associated with Rockhopper Penguins and Black-browed Albatross on flat cliff top sites. The nest is a column of mud, tussock grass and algae. 2 - 4 eggs are layed. They feed offshore, often in flocks pursuing feed, usually small schooling fish.<br />
<br />
The Jasons (Grand and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length. <br />
This island has the largest Black-browed Albatross colony in the world with 113,000. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society)

  • Imperial Cormorant or King Shag or King Cormorant (Phalacrocorax atriceps albiventer)<br />
Nesting on a Pink Pond. Steeple Jason Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
RANGE: Coasts of South America, Subantarctic Islands, Antarctic Peninsula<br />
They usually breed in closely packed colonies often associated with Rockhopper Penguins and Black-browed Albatross on flat cliff top sites. The nest is a column of mud, tussock grass and algae. 2 - 4 eggs are layed. They feed offshore, often in flocks pursuing feed, usually small schooling fish.<br />

  • Junagarh Fort, Bikaner, Rajasthan, INDIA<br />
This fort is well preserved. Built in 1588 by Raja Rai Singh it is unusual in the sense that it was one of the few forts in Rajasthan not built on a hilltop but instead built on the desert plains. Beyond the main gate lies a complex of splendid palaces, each built by a different ruler over the centuries. <br />
Bikaner was founded in the 15th century by the son of the Rathor Raja of Marwar (Jodpur). Taking offence at a comment that his father had made he left with a band of horsemen to set up his own kingdom in the desert. Spurred on by the blessing of Karni Mata (whose rat temple is whorshipped by Hindus till today) he fought the local desert clans for 30 years, ultimately carving out a kingdom approx. the size of England. Today this town is still at heart a medieval walled desert town. The thick crenelated walls encircling it are still there studded with five huge gates that were once locked at night. It is a pink city as it is carved out of pink sand stone characteristic of this region.

  • Greater or Caribbean Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber)  Bachas Beach, north Santa Cruz Island,Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR, South America<br />
Quietly filtering the brackish waters, these birds spread between the major lagoon of the archipelago, particularly those on Floreana, Isabela, Rabida, Santiago, Santa Cruz and Bainbridge Rocks. They seem to undertake seasonal migrations from lagoon to lagoon, on an individual basis, according to local food abundance. Inside their bills are a series of plates which serve to strain tiny invertebrate food organisms from the water and mud. The tongue acts as a piston, drawing water in through the front of the bill and then forcing it out of the sides past the plates. They often patter their feet in the mud to disturb food, but may also feed in deep water - they can swim very well if necessary. The pink color comes from carotenoid pigments in their diet.
