There was a nature documentary on the flamingos that breed around the lake some time back.

Heart breaking though, as the chicks that are born late, can't fly before the salt begins building up on their feet - and dooming them to be abandoned by their parents, and anchored eventually in place, by the build up of the salt encrusting their feet.

Those chicks are born, suffer from the salt and heat, and die. That's it for them.
