[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
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.

Hello Fatih, I shot something similar this bird but your shot is so beautiful and mine is not even close to it. Brilliant sharpness and superb POV. Ganesh

hi Fatih

Good capture of the stilt in flight with this tight crop. Interesting to note the good focus sharpness and bokeh.

The elegant flight pose is very attractive in this shot.

Hi Fatih,
Great inflight photo with very beautiful lighting and details. I like the glimmer effect on the legs and the catchlight in the eyes. The OOF BG is very pleasant to the eyes.
