Pied Stilt (Himantopus leucocephalus), casually strolling

Same Pied Stilt, casually trudging the canal on the pool

Two Black-Winged Stilts (Himantopus himantopus), one looking for worms and the other doing stilt stuffs. Y'know, resting with one foot off the ground

Black-Winged Stilt strolling around the bird park. They are quite skittish.

Two similar-looking birds. But these are two different species. A Pied Stilt (Himantopus novaezelandiae) and a Black-Winged Stilt (H. himantopus).🪶
