Flamingo reflections

Flamingo reflections is a peaceful scene captured in the shade of the trees in the central pond of Colchester Zoo. Standing on one leg makes the reflection in the green water even better. One of the birds has breached the surface of the water with its beak causing a ripple effect. The ripple effect partially spoils the reflection, however it creates its own point of interest as it cascades outwards.

Dead branches in the dull green water create leading lines for the eye to follow . The green water contrasts with the pale pink flamingos. The water also reflects the foliage above it.

The zoo lies on sixty acres and is a firm favourite with families in Essex. Click here to see more of Colchester Zoo.
