A nature reserve has welcomed new flamingo chicks meaning visitors will be able to see the new birds this half term.
The birds have already been exploring beyond their nests after they hatched in April and early May at Martin Mere Wetland Centre in Burscough, Lancashire.
Born with soft grey down feathers, the chicks will gradually develop their famous pink colour by the age of two due to their diet, which contains carotenoids.
As they grow older, their beaks will also curve down like the adults, so they can filter feed on foods like brine shrimp and algae.
