Fifty pink flamingos freeze to death in icy French lake as winter
tightens its stranglehold on Europe
More than fifty pink flamingos have been found dead in southern France,
victims of freezing weather conditions that have gripped Europe over
the past weeks.
Firemen who combed waters in Gruissan, in the Aude region, said the
birds succumbed to the cold after being trapped in the frozen water and
left unable to fly away.
The League for Protection of Birds (OPL) picked up some of the other
fragile flamingos in the region to transport them to a bird park in
Camargue in southern France.
