Since I was heading down south for the week, for work
purposes, I decided to make a short stop at a location where I knew a pair of
Black-winged Stilts were lingering. Back in 2015 I did see this species in the
UK, but since this pair was so close and on route, it seemed foolish not to
make the short detour to have a look at them.
Despite the afternoon haze, I did get to see both birds distantly
through the scope. They showed nicely, feeding away, while a cool breeze kept
away the worst of the heat. The birds have now been present for the best part
of a week, but on the first occasion I did miss them, hidden away in the grasses,
so it was good to be actually able to catch up with them this time.
