Reflected on the surface of Lake Tuz in Turkey, these flamingos are following a well-trodden path. Every spring, tens of thousands fly to this salt lake to breed. However, as the lake dries up due to drought and farming irrigation, fewer flamingos than usual arrived this year and around 2000 chicks have died. To adapt, the birds are changing their migration routes to travel to other wetlands in the country.
