Flamingos arrive in MMR, months later than expected

What Happened

Pink flamingos have arrived in Mumbai's Thane Creek Sanctuary and Bhandup Pumping Station weeks late, in significantly reduced numbers. Environmentalists attribute the delayed migration and declining population to extended monsoon conditions and habitat threats. The birds typically arrive from Gujarat in October-November but remained there longer due to warmer weather patterns this season.
