Sadly Septimus will no longer be part of Squares, however he certainly wouldn’t have approved of being include in the theme odd! So instead how about more of those birds that I think we have all agreed are rather odd – flamingos!

The greater flamingo is the most widespread and largest species of all the flamingos. It is found in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and in southern Europe. Beauty like oddness is in the eyes of the beholder with these birds!

If you haven’t already joined us February is a month of Squares, and theme is odd. So basically nearly anything goes as odd includes odd numbers, odd balls, the exceptions, follies, and even odds and ends. Just remember to keep your photographs square and it would be great if you could use the tag SquareOdds. If you want to know more here’s my challenge poster.
Here’s my oddity of the day: https://outofmywritemind.com/2022/02/02/not-quite-the-norm-2/

I can but not for the length of time they do. Nor at the angle. Check out the one on the right in my header – that angle was the angle it was at!!

It really is, and very odd as usually they don’t stick around this long because of the number of humans walking past. However this flock seem to be coping with us all 🙂

Great photos, Becky. They’re odd looking birds for sure. I wonder if clumsy flamingos ever get themselves tied into knots. Here’s mine today: https://grahamsisland.com/2022/02/02/thats-not-me-in-the-photos/

I certainly would if I attempted this, or at least I would collapse at the moment I tried to untangle myself!

Silly but my first thought when seeing the flamingo is – that is how I sorta looked putting on jeans or underwear standing on one foot then the other.
(I used to do it with the grace and ease of a ballerina.) 😦

I don´t know how they manage to sleep standing on only one leg! 🙂 I would topple over for sure!

You won’t be surprised to find that I too have flamingos in the challenge – from the zoo of course! But not today. Today we have an odd fact.

Flamingos are such odd birds even if they don’t strike a pose. I know that your flamingos are taken in the wild (great photos!) so I didn’t think it was appropriate to show my zoo-flamingo photos (although they photograph beautifully, even there). But I had one wild flamingo in my archive – or did I? https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2022/02/02/an-odd-kind-of-flamingo/

Is it just me, or does the flamingo in your square look like a novelty teapot?

hee hee, well Alice used them as croquet mallets so guess a few teapots wouldn’t be that much odder!!

Nothing quite like a flamingo for oddness. But so well caught, Becky. My ‘odd’ is more a yarn than a photo:
