Flamingo Pond Description
A large flock of flamingos make their home on this large salt pond on the west end of Anegada. Due to hunting, the native flamingos in the British Virgin Islands were exterminated. Biologists reintroduced a flock of 20 flamingos (from Bermuda) to Anegada in 1992. The project has proved successful as the flock has grown to more than 50 birds since. Another aim of the project is that the flock will attract other migrating species in hopes of increasing the gene pool in the area.

The British Virgin Island National Parks Trust has recognized Flamingo Pond as a bird sanctuary, and other species such as terns, ospreys and egrets can be seen nesting and feeding in the area. The flamingos can be seen wading on the far north side of the pond
