Thanks Jon. Their name is indicative of their very long legs, which can look quite bizarre as they shift position. (Which is the case in the photo you’re commenting on.) Here’s another photo that shows the legs more clearly. https://raxacollective.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/bird-of-the-day-black-winged-stilt-uda-walawe-sri-lanka/ Reply
Nice picture. I have never seen a bird like that before.
