The Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is a large black and white wader with long orange-red legs and a straight black bill. It has black on the back of the neck, a white collar and a red iris. Both sexes are similar, and the plumage does not change during the year. Black-winged Stilts give a repeated high-pitched barking call. Young Black-winged Stilts lack black on the back of the neck and have grey-brown wings and back, speckled with white.
Was für wunder-volle Fotos! Neben den herrrlichen Vögeln gefallen mir die faszinierenden Spiegelungen ganz besonders!

Oops! Let’s try that in English since this is an English-language blog: The photos of this beautiful bird are a delight. I also love the ones with the birds reflected in the water. They are elegant birds, and the reflections enhance that quality.
I’m glad I stopped by to view your photos today!
