Flying Black-winged Stilts (Himantopus himantopus)

This group of BWSs suddenly took off from the drain water pool. Shot late evening in almost cloudy weather conditions.

I have uploaded a video of a flock of 23 BSWs doing circuits of the pool when a herd of cattle appeared in the vicinity. Video was shot with Fujifilm HS 50 EXR Camera, again late evening in cloudy weather on another day. Hope you enjoy the video of my favorite waders.
