EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a pool party when you've got the Bagerova Steppe? This Black winged stilt knows how to make the most of a dried out stream! With its long, slender legs and elegant black and white plumage, this bird is ready to strut its stuff in style. Captured by photographer Grzegorz Lesniewski in July 2009, this stunning print showcases the beauty of nature in Ukraine's Kerch Peninsula. The small pool may be all that remains in this parched landscape, but it provides the perfect backdrop for our fashionable feathered friend. Known for their graceful wading abilities, these stilts are true masters of balance as they navigate through shallow waters. Their distinctive long bills allow them to probe into mud or sand in search of tasty treats like insects and small crustaceans. As part of Wild Wonders of Europe's collection, this photo reminds us of the incredible diversity found within our natural world. From vibrant colors to intricate patterns, every creature has a story to tell. So next time you're feeling thirsty on a hot summer day, take inspiration from our Black winged stilt and find your own oasis – even if it's just a tiny pool in a dried out stream!
