The bird seen in the photo is called Black-Winged Stilt, it is a kind of birds that has a long red legs that allow it to wade into deeper water, where it may be seen snatching insects that hover over the water’s surface, dipping its head below the water to catch small fish, or pulling small worms from the mud.
You can see how it is slowing walking in calm water searching for it food.
A wing from the wreckage of the RAF Canberra jet which crashed on t-Sagairt Mor in 1956. Lots of pieces are strewn all over the mountaintop and this trip sees finding more of them before making the final ascent to Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach.
Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach (pronounced Carn a-Corry voddoyich - or something like) stands at 1118 meters (3667 feet) and completes my circuit of the five Munro's of White Mounth. It's taken me 3 years and 4 separate climbs to complete this circuit, starting with my first ever Munro Lochnagar in 2016, but I'm there at last!!

The chestnut-winged starling (Onychognathus fulgidus) is a glossy, medium-sized starling found across parts of East Africa, often inhabiting rocky cliffs, savannas, and woodland edges. It is easily recognized by its dark, iridescent plumage contrasted with rich chestnut-colored wings that flash warmly in flight. Highly social and vocal, these birds are frequently seen in pairs or small groups, foraging for insects and fruit. Their striking coloration and lively behavior make the chestnut-winged starling a rewarding subject for observation and photography.
One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird is a familiar sight atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Glossy-black males have scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow. Their early and tumbling song are happy indications of the return of spring.

Taken on our way to Washington DC. I am tagging along on a business trip for my husband.
I'll admit the reflection of this dude leaves something to be desired, but I liked how well this photo caught the green wing-patch. This is another shot from Radio Rd.
As a side note, I'm officially 14 now! Huzzah!
Même si le plumage rouge du mâle bec-croisé bifscié est impressionnant, personnellement, je pense que le plumage multicolore de ce jeune immature l'est encore plus. On dirait un kaléidoscope des couleurs...
Although the red plumage of the male white-winged crossbill is impressive, personally, I think the multi-colored plumage of this young immature is even more so. It looks like a kaleidoscope of colors...

Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated!
Despite the messy backdrop here I quite like the unusual pose of this heron as he has a bit of a wing stretch.
This is photo from my book 'Winged Encounters' published by the Lilliput Press, Dublin.

I took a lot of photos of little critters today. This is the first Red Winged Black Bird I've seen in the feeder so far. Hope it comes back!
I don't really consider myself a birder, but being a nature photographer in Florida you end up photographing a lot of birds. The spring migration is going on now and Fort Desoto is one of the best places to witness it. I count lifers when I get a recognizable pic of the species and I got 3 yesterday including the first 2 here. All of these were photographed in the same sea grape bush.

It was caught changing direction here - thus the unusual leg positioning.
These are still considered "rare" in this locality, but they have been numerous around my place for years now.
