For a second it looks like there are two Black-winged Stilts enjoying the morning. Calm water has a way of doubling the magic 🪞✨

📍 Los Barruecos, Cáceres, Spain

A Black-winged Stilt stands in shallow, still water at Los Barruecos, Cáceres. Its long pink legs and black-and-white plumage are reflected almost perfectly on the calm surface. Gentle ripples surround the bird, while a few blurred green leaves appear in the foreground against the pale blue water.

An elegant Gólyatöcs (black-winged stilt) spotted on Csepel Island, just south of Budapest 🇭🇺.

Standing at 35–40 cm tall, it has the longest legs relative to its body size of any bird species besides the flamingo.

A wander along the paths at the San Pedro Del Pinatar salt pans took me to 37 species with 10 more added including the Buzzard on the drive there. Here's BOC shots of 3 seen, Ruff, Little Stint and Black Winged Stilt.

A black-winged stilt wades gracefully through calm, shallow water. The bird features striking contrast with a white head, neck, and underbelly paired with a solid black back and long, needle-thin black beak. Its extraordinarily long, bright pinkish-red legs create a sharp reflection in the soft, tranquil surface of the water as it lifts one foot forward.

Helen’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsWithBerries Any bird captured with berries,
Alt: #BirdyLongLegs Any bird with legs that look way too long for its body!

I’ve chosen the Alt theme with this Black-winged Stilt. Whenever I watch them wading with their long legs I’m amazed they don’t topple over !
A Black-winged Stilt walks through water towards the camera. It has black and white plumage, a long bill, and long pink/red legs.

A terrific six days spent in and around Tarifa and Doñana last week with @joesn.bsky.social and co. An overwhelming number of new species, I'd recommend the area to anyone looking for any sort of wildlife adventure!

It can be good zitting cisticola, Black-winged Stilt breed. Good for harrier’s & wildfowl. They have stopped the walking of the sea wall but provided hides. I believe it was to stop disturbance of the Harbour Seal colony.

I'm going for a #twofer with this Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus) for today's #BirdOfTheDay. Not only is it #Black&White but the wings show #Iridescence in certain light. It also happens to have the longest legs on a bird relative to body size. 😀
#birds #ECK #nature #photography #wildlife
A bird with white head and body, and black wings. It has extremely long orange legs and is standing by the edge of dark blue water on a rocky foreshore. Its long black beak is slightly open, and it has a light brown eye. It's facing left, and the early morning sun is catching its left wing transforming the black to dark green with hints of purple. The claim about the longest legs relative to body size is supported by the Guiness Book of Records.
