Black-winged Stilt Himantopus himantopus

The Black-winged Stilt is a large black and white wader with long orange-red legs and a straight black bill. It has black on the back of the neck, a white collar and a red iris. Both sexes are similar, and the plumage does not change during the year. Black-winged Stilts give a repeated high-pitched barking call. Young Black-winged Stilts lack black on the back of the neck and have grey-brown wings and back, speckled with white. They have a smudged grey crown, which extends down the back of the neck as the birds get older.

Impressive shot. From the difference in size my first thought was that there were 2 species.
Good timing
Drplets of water are a plus

Hi Fatih,
Very good capture of these Black-winged Stilts in fight. This most have been a very funny sight, lots of long lengs. Good POV, DOF and composition, sharp details and blurred natural BG.
