The Black-winged Stilt (Afrikaans Name, Rooipootelsie) a wader, is a common resident around local estuaries, vleis and marshes.

The regional population is some 15 000 birds.

We spotted them on a trip to Strandfontein Sewage Works this weekend. Look at those legs! The juvenile has brown patches on the head..

    Greetings!!

    Requesting permission to use some of your photos. I am working on a translation of names of birds and animals from Silozi (my home language spoken in Zambia and Namibia) to English.
