Flamingos in Qatar

The arrival of migratory flamingos in Qatar is often the first winged visitor to the Gulf. These birds are usually seen during the wet season. They are among the hundreds of varieties of migratory birds that are expected to arrive in Qatar this year.

One of the most common destinations for flamingos in Qatar is the Al Thakira Mangroves. This place is the oldest mangrove reserve in Qatar and is a natural wonder. It is located on the north of the country, near the city of Al Khor. During the months of November and April, hundreds of flamingos can be spotted at this area. In addition to the flamingos, the mangroves are also home to several other types of wildlife.

Another place to see flamingos in Qatar is the Purple Island. This island is home to the best natural mangrove reserve in the Gulf. Located about 50 kilometers north of Doha, it is a thriving ecosystem of wildlife. Hundreds of flamingos are estimated to be present at the Purple Island, a number which is expected to increase as the temperatures decrease in the coming months.

If you’re looking for an adventure, dune bashing is a good option. You can also go four-wheel driving to the dune area. Depending on the time of the year, you can expect to see dugongs, whale sharks and other species of migratory birds. However, tourists don’t realize how sensitive these migratory birds are. Many photographers capture images of these migratory birds.

Although these migratory birds do not come into Qatar as their permanent residence, some of them stay for a short while to breed and spend the winter in Qatar. Among the other migratory birds that visit Qatar are the White-Throated Robin, European Roller, and the Blue Throat.

Flamingos are a large, colorful bird with long legs and a long bill. Their plumage is a combination of white and pink. As they mature, their beaks get smaller, and they curve downwards. At first, they have a straight bill. After three weeks, they start to look for food. During this time, they will join other flamingos in small groups called creches.

The Greater Flamingo is the largest living species of flamingo, and it can be found in tropical areas around the world. Its size averages 2-4 kilograms. Compared to the lesser flamingo, the greater flamingo has a wider range and a more complex migration pattern. Because of its range, it’s difficult to estimate its exact numbers.

Other flamingos in Qatar can be found in the southern regions of the country. Several species of sea turtles live here, as well.
