Lake Nakuru is one of the three inter-linked lakes in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya.
An absolutely incredible feature of Lake Nakuru is the large gatherings of long-legged, long-necked greater and lesser flamingos.
The lake’s abundance of algae attracts these birds that famously line the shore.
It has been described by ornithologists as the greatest bird spectacle in the world.
The Lesser flamingos are ones that are commonly pictured in documentaries mainly because they are large in number.
The flamingos feed on algae, created from their droppings mixing in the warm alkaline waters, and plankton.
Usually, the lake recedes during the dry season and floods during the wet season.
In recent years, there have been wide variations between the dry and wet seasons' water levels.
These pictures were captured by seasoned wildlife photographerMartin Harvey.
