Stilts Are Back
A few days ago we once again had a visit in our area from this lovely pair of Black-necked Stilts. I really enjoy seeing these long legged beauties traverse the shallow water of the marsh in search of tiny fish and other tasty marine crustaceans.

Great captures. Particularly like the last one – stepping out…
These guys sure are stylish steppers. 🙂 Thanks Victor
Very beautiful bird, my favorite is 4 because of his leg position and the 2nde because of the purple reflexion on his beak (even if head is not perfectly sharp, you offer always amazing pictures and perfect ones so I notice this;-) but I am not able to do a quarter of your great job :-D)
Enjoy your day Phil
The stilts really are fun birds to watch and photograph, I like those bubblegum pink legs.
Thank you very much for looking at these photos Sophie.
Gorgeous pics, Phil. Those legs are certainly long, and very………pink. 🙂
Perhaps one of natures more humorous creatures but fascinating at the same time.
Thanks for checking these out Sylvia!
Sono uccelli molto eleganti nei movimenti!! Bellissimi scatti Phil!!!
Ciao, Patrizia
I love these little guys and girls. The are so pretty, and just so cute with their coloring. He looks happy with his rummaging here!
So elegant, yet so pretty! What sweet faces!
Those long pink legs are simply improbable, but entirely cute!
What great legs!!
Absolutely beautiful! Great detail in the colors.
The legs…and the eyes! They are so expressive, so tender looking.
These are awesome Phil!
Lovely, lady-like bird via your lens! Thank you, Phil!
What a stunning creature, Phil! Love the black, white and pink!
Such a cute bird beautifully photographed Phil!
A beautiful bird!
Great images, wonderfully captured. I really like the second in which the Stilt has bend over the head completely sideways. So beautiful!
I’ll join the majority and like stepping shot. Those legs just look like they were attached to the wrong bird.
I ,love those pink legs. Nice bunch of shots, Phil.
These are stunning!
Ein tolles Bild!
Those are wonderful, Phil. Love these birds – even when they have yelled at me and flown at my head to protect a nest I’d never have known about if they hadn’t!!!
