Beneath the open skies, they move as one — wise, gentle, and enduring.

Black-winged Stilt /
කළුපිය ඉපල්පාවා / කලපු කිරලා

Scientific Name: Himantopus himantopus

Family: Recurvirostridae

Grace on stilts – the Black-winged Stilt wades elegantly through serene waters, its delicate frame and striking plumage painting poetry in motion.

The Black-winged Stilt is a graceful and slender wader known for its exceptionally long pink legs, which give it a stilted appearance. Its body is mostly white with contrasting black wings and back, while the bill is long, thin, and perfectly straight – ideal for probing mudflats and shallow waters for aquatic insects, crustaceans, and other small invertebrates.

These birds are often found in wetlands, lagoons, marshes, and estuaries. Their elegant stature, soft calls, and slow, deliberate movements make them a favorite among birdwatchers and photographers alike. Despite their delicate look, they are highly adaptable and can be spotted across many continents, including Asia, Africa, and Europe.
