A Juvenile Greater Flamingo leads the walk

You must have been some distance away from the birds - a lot of air/thermal effects.Lovely image nonetheless.

Heat shimmer is an issue in the Rann in the evening. Only upside to photographing birds at that time is that raptors can be found on the ground. Early mornings are the best, as lazy eagles prefer to warm themselves on the shrubbery and don't take off until the thermals grow strong.
