As of today, out of season, returns ~October. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each winter Chilika Lagoon becomes a primary stopover and feeding ground for Greater Flamingos (and other migratory waterbirds).
Birds concentrate on exposed mudflats around Nalabana and adjacent sectors, producing spectacular pink roosts visible from boat-based viewpoints.
Timing and numbers depend on water levels and food availability.
