As of today, out of season, returns ~August. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Bundala National Park on Sri Lanka's southern coast hosts seasonal flocks of Greater Flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) that concentrate in the park's shallow brackish lagoons and salt pans each northern winter.
Presence is driven by lagoon salinity and water levels, so numbers vary year to year.
