Échasse blanche faisant l’autruche.
#Photography #Nature #Bird #Birds #BirdPhotography #BlackWingedStilt #WadingBirds

Une échasse blanche en train de chercher de la nourriture au fond d’un étang. Sa tête et son long cou ont totalement disparu sous l’eau. Son dos et sa queue sont levés vers le haut, face à l’objectif, on voit bien la forme de coeur créée par la couleur noire de son dos et ses ailes, et la forme en V de la queue. L’eau de l’étang est très calme, miroitante, et d’un bleu ciel clair. Dans le fond, en haut de l’image, on voit le reflet d’une petite bande de terre couverte de végétation rase et de quelques joncs de mer.

🌎 Roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja)

The roseate spoonbill is a striking wading bird, easily identified by its vibrant pink plumage and distinctive spoon-shaped bill. Adults have a bare greenish head, and their pink colouration comes from their diet. They inhabit shallow fresh and coastal waters, ranging from the southeastern U.S. to central Argentina. They feed by sweeping their bills side-to-side in the water, catching small fish, crustaceans, and insects. Often seen in groups, they are social birds. No subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

🌎 Southern lapwing (Vanellus chilensis)

The Southern lapwing is a striking crested wader with a greyish-brown back and head, black and white face markings, and a black breast band. It has a thin black crest and pinkish legs. Found throughout most of South America, and recently extended its range into southern Central America, it favors open grasslands and wetlands. Known for its loud, piercing calls, it's a territorial bird, aggressively defending its nest and young. Red wing spurs are used for this purpose. Four subspecies are recognised.

The visiting #Avocet finally woke and had a stretch.
Don’t get me wrong - it’s great to see one in #Belfast - but it does seem to spend a lot of time asleep
