Wildlife park celebrates birth of flamingo chick

It's the first time the park's flamingos have successfully bred in 18 years

The Curraghs Wildlife Park is celebrating the birth of a flamingo chick for the first time in 18 years.

The new addition is a Chilean flamingo - a species that's considered near threatened on the red list.

The youngster was born just over a month ago, and won't be named until the chick's sex has been determined.

Staff say the chick will have grey plumage for two to three years before turning pink, and can now be seen with its parents at the park.
