Flamingoes, for instance, have now bolstered their presence in the island thanks to the high concentration of salt in the ponds’ waters, which favors the presence of “artemia salina” (Saltwater Brine Shrimp), from which their pink color originates.
In addition to flamingoes, the blue sky of Sardinia also hosts different species of hawks and griffons.
