Flamingo
By Claudio Contreras Koob and Martha A. Salazar, teNeues, £35
STEP INTO THE WORLD OF the Caribbean flamingo with this beautiful photographic book from nature photographer Claudio Contreras Koob and author Martha A. Salazar.
With their dramatic colouring and elegant posture, flamingos lend themselves well to being very photogenic subjects. But Claudio's intimate images and depth of understanding of the birds offers readers an especially fascinating insight into the little-seen world of these most striking birds.
With breathtaking detail, and featuring text in English, German and Spanish, the book takes us on a journey following the lives and life-cycle of the Caribbean flamingo, including glimpses into their behaviour and their wetland habitats in the Yucatán, Mexico.
Having spent much of his life since childhood in the Yucatán, Claudio has an appreciation of the natural landscape that is evident throughout the book. He shares his personal experience of the region and the decline in wildlife he has sadly witnessed there.
