I want to celebrate my new post in this community sharing this picture of a black-winged stilt. It is a common wader that breeds in wetlands with open shallow water, often salty; breeds on bare ground near water, often in noisy colonies. It's very elegant, with its boldly pied plumage and long hot-pink legs, and long, very fine bill. It's surely unmistakable! the Black-winged stilt feeds by wading in water, picking with its bill from the water surface as you can see in this picture, taking during this autum migration. Hope you enjoy!
