Hello and welcome back to Kuala Moon, a podcast of original children's bedtime stories and meditations,

designed to make bedtime a dream. Now you might recognize the main star of tonight's story from

our sister show Kowala Shine. She's Hannah Sparrow, our fierce and heroic bird-watcher friend who knows her pigeons from her

peregrines and her bullfinches from her buzzards. She's such a bird lover that she will

travel across the world for a peeped a rare one. In fact, she's going all the way to Africa and tonight's story, hoping to come across some rare finds. But something she really doesn't expect to see is 2 million

flamingos dancing across the lake where they were born. Before we begin a quick message for the grown-ups.
