The great temperature drop and the freezing of the lagoon of Kalochori forced the flamingos, like other bird species, to look for their food in the Thermaic Gulf, Thessaloniki, Greece. Photo © Aris Papadopoulos

The weather conditions in the recent days, with temperatures well below 0 degrees Celsius also in the coastal areas of the country, have frozen the water of the lagoon in Kalochori, Thessaloniki, Greece. Photo © Aris Papadopoulos
