Bonus point for who identifies this........
Found this thing In Edale this afternoon much to Dizzy amusement It was like half chicken half.......Well let you decide
Black-winged Stilt ?
I would have said so as well, adult male in summer but not a UK resident or visitor is it? So this is maybe in Spain?
This was just the funniest bird I've seen...great comedy value when it broke into a run.It was like its feet didn't belong to it!!Anyone know what the heck it is?
well played gents - cr355 and snowslider win the bonus - it is indeed a black-winged stilt extra point for ss too - as it is indeed a super-rare visitor to the UK and this one was snapped in Spain. In March though, so not quite summer plumage.I am most impressed i'm not the only twitcher round here!I love that picture of the chamois looking at you quizically, snowslider! I thought they were really shy!
