It turns out the Venetian lagoon is home to some flamingos!

Someone has been using Visine on them.

Here's information about the six species of flamingo at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, just off the River Severn!

If by that you mean the picture is a bit rough and grainy, that's because it is

I don't have my photo editing software on this travelling device so this version is just the JPEG that the camera creates. Once I get home I should be able to reprocess the data and get something a bit better. It will never be great though, the crop you need to be able to zoom in is so great there just isn't a lot of data to work with. like this.

but those flamingos aren't truly wild, or are they?

They like hanging around in the area because they get fed, but they certainly aren't tame!
How about "fairly wild"?

Sorry, Ken, and all outside the US for this reference to an American eye drops product that promises to 'get the red out.'

<pedant> The bright pink color of flamingos comes from beta-carotene, a red-orange pigment that’s found in high amounts within the algae, brine fly larvae, and brine shrimp that flamingos eat in their wetland environment. </pedant>

...something a bit better...

But as expected, only little bit better.

[HansV]

It *is* an improvement!

Excellent processing skills!

Excellent processing skills!...

umm, it's more the magic of the noise reduction algorithm in the photo editing software I use.

Nicely done Ken.

Not one of these birds is a flamingo, and by an amazing coincidence, not one of them is named "Blue"
Cheers, Chris

It's actually musical notation for their songs.

Geoff, you forgot to include the hyperlink. This piece is scored for galahs and blowies.

From that photo one might surmise that the old saw "Birds of a feather flock together" is not true. I see some outliers in there.
