Black-winged Stilt (9/19)

CHARADRIIFORMES: Recurvirostridae

Himantopus himantopus  

I rotated the above image through 180 degrees and liked the effect. It looks weird and you can perhaps imagine the objects as heads on lengths of pink wire.

Or maybe it's just me that's weird.

If you click on the above photo, the main image will display, and I talked myself into leaving that copy the correct way up.

It is, of course, Black-winged Stilts sleeping with their heads screwed round whilst standing on one leg. A neat trick but don't try it yourselves. Especially anywhere near a glass coffee-table. If anyone has a glass coffee-table they don't want, I could use a replacement.
