My Dad really wanted to see a Black-necked Stilt but we didn't see any of those!! At least this guy had long legs (even if they weren't pink like a Stilts).

It's kinda funny the way it's walking, like it has a hunchback or something. Excellent shot, the bird really grabs attention being front and centered.
