info

The photographs of Black-winged Stilt created in Malta (04/2015) are not as good as those created in Australia and New Zealand, due to the distance that separated us. Nevertheless, they initiated a gallery of this species on my website.
Last minute news – 07/2015
While waiting for the  baillon’s crake I managed to take several pictures  of the black-winged stilt. Unfortunately, it was a bit too far, but as it is not a common spices in the Netherlands, I added a few pictures.

I’ve uploaded some photos and a recording of the sound of black-winged stilts. On a little water reservoir on the edge of a village in Mongolia there were also pied avocets, ruddy shelducks and redshanks. Several photos were taken and I have rebuilt the gallery.
