Black-winged stilt

The black-winged stilt (1:23)

                The video was recorded in the Isola della Cona nature reserve, FVG, Italy.
                The adult bird was very close (approx. 6m) to the observation platform
                and preening itself.
                After a short time, his young bird joined him, with the begging calls
                as a "greeting" and began to preen itself.
                It is always a great experience to observe the birds from this close up
                and not disturb them. The preening means that they feel very relaxed.
