Hello Andrea,
Excellent shot, very sharp,nice color and light.
A few words about these birds:Adults have white plumage except for a black cap and black patches in the wings and on the back. They have long, upturned bills and long, bluish legs. Juvenile birds are brown where the adult is black, and the juvenile's white plumage is often blotched with greyer patches.
Their breeding habitat is in shallow lakes with brackish water and bare mud exposed. They nest on open ground, often in small groups, sometimes with other waders. 3-5 eggs are laid in a lined scrape or on a mound of vegetation.
Thanks for sharing,
regards,
Nikos.
Ottima ripresa: complimenti!
Ciao e grazie, Emanuele
