Flamingos visit the wetland every year

Incidents of attempting to hurt and drive flamingos away from the lake next to Seawoods Estate (NRI Wetlands/Talawe wetlands)—considered a severe threat to the pink tourists visiting Navi Mumbai—seem to continue with reports of miscreants trying to chase them away twice this week. The wetland is a well-known destination among birdwatchers looking to spot the migratory birds during low tide. However, a video that emerged in the last three to four days shows miscreants chasing them away. The video went viral after a nature lover posted it on social networking sites.
