Black-winged stilts' legs make up 60% of their height!
In what is thought to be the most northerly breeding success for the rare black-winged stilt, chicks have hatched at a reserve in Yorkshire.
This week three chicks – which take their first steps away from the nest soon after hatching but remain vulnerable and are not yet able to fly – were spotted at the reserve. Work was completed earlier this year on Piper Marsh, where the birds nested, to reduce the amount of reedbed and remodel the islands, creating suitable feeding areas for a variety of wading birds as well as the black-winged stilts.
