Update Flamingo 'Frankie', 12 Nov 2025' By Curator David Woolcock, Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary. >>> paradisepark.org.uk/update-on-fl... We would like to express our sincerest thanks to the public, both local & national media for their assistance in the search for Flamingo Frankie.

> Flamingos are capable of flying that distance, but we still feel amazed to see she has travelled so far also relieved to see her looking so fit. She has found a wonderful, protected estuary system & should be able to feed. We will update as we know more. Photo by Alice Beddows.

UPDATE There have been sightings of a flamingo on the coast of Brittany in France. There is population of Greater Flamingos in Southern France that look very similar to Frankie, but we believe we can see the feathers on right wing have been clipped. Photo from www.faune-bretagne.org/index.php?m_...

So cute 🙂 We took in this Azure Tit a few years ago when it needed a home and love its cheeky personality. It lives in a mixed species aviary in the Pheasantries range.

Please if possible take photos or video to send in to help us identify if it is her. Along with location. You can contact us on 01736 753365, or email us on [email protected] or message us here on Facebook. Thank you to all that have made contact xx

FRANKIE UPDATE This video by Ben Oakes is Frankie flying at Hayle Estuary on Sun at 12:30pm. Helps show how she looks when flying & she appears much pinker in flight than we expected. Please keep a look out for her, especially anyone in the Newlyn & Longrock areas & Hayle >

Some people have asked what sounds do flamingos make. Turn up the volume on this video of Frankie and the flock filmed a while ago and you will hear their very nasal honking sound.

Please keep contacting us regarding any sightings, your help is invaluable in our search for Frankie, we can't thank you enough. Weather looks better today so fingers crossed. Contact us on 01736 753365, or email us on [email protected] or message us. Thank you x
