AP report: With fewer humans to fear the flamingos flock to Albanian lagoon

AP reports from NARTA in Albania that home confinement rules have upset some people in Albania, but humans getting their wings clipped during the coronavirus pandemic has allowed flamingos and other birds to flourish in a coastal lagoon by the Adriatic Sea.
