Dr Pranav S K from Bangalore sent us this image, clicked at Pulicat Lake, 60 kms north of Chennai. "My wife and me drove up on a bike early one Sunday morning," he says. "We hired a boat, which took us into the shallow tidal lake. After about an hour's boat ride, my wife caught the first glimpse of these flamingoes, which were tiny pink dots on the horizon."
