The black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is a widely distributed, very long-legged wader in the avocet and stilt family Recurvirostridae. Its scientific name, Himantopus himantopus, is sometimes used to generalize a single, almost cosmopolitan species. Alternatively, it is restricted to the form that is widespread in Europe, Asia and Africa, which equals the nominate group of H. himantopus sensu lato.
Pink Lake is a small, salty Lake west of Melbourne CBD, in Fisherman's Bend, near Westgate Bridge. Every year between summer and autumn, the salinity and warm weather encourage the proliferation of a pink algae.
