The Black-winged Stilt also known as Common Stilt or Pied Stilt is a medium sized wader. It is easily recognised by the distinctive jet-black wings and their very long pinkish-red legs which account for 60% of their height giving them an advantage over other waders in deep waters. They are widespread covering almost 31,000,000 square kilometers on the globe.
