Getting close to the water. Three #blackwingedstilts Stilts and a #Cormorant taking flight. The view is different down here. Take time to escape the world. My fight starts on my return. Oh, no Purple Heron!

Three Black-Winged Stilts relaxed in the water. One is taking flight the other two, standing side by side. A cormorant protested and takes flight. It left a splash of water behind as she propelled self to the air.

🌍🌏 Black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) The black-winged stilt, or common stilt, is a graceful wading bird with strikingly long pink legs, a slender black bill, and variable black and white plumage. It has a broad distribution, inhabiting shallow wetlands like marshes, lagoons, and salt pans across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Stilts are often seen wading in shallow water, probing for aquatic invertebrates. They are social birds, sometimes forming small groups, and are known to be very protective of their nests and young, actively mobbing potential predators. Some populations are migratory, moving to coastal areas in winter, while others are resident in warmer regions.
