Black-winged Stilt(Himantopus himantopus)

A rather folorn looking juvenile Black-winged Stilt, waiting on the weir at Al Ansab lagoons. These birds are so photogenic and are also very good at standing beautifully still for a portrait. This one is especially beautiful although he has got slightly dirty legs! A very lovely, elegant bird, even with those almost comical stilt pink legs. Amazing red eyes as well.
