BLACK-WINGED STILT Himantopus himantopus
- These graceful Black-winged Stilts Himantopus himantopus were photographed from
a hide at a bird reserve in Brittany and from the bank of a lake on the
southern French Mediterranean coast. One presumes
that they have a head for heights! Some of these photographs are selective
enlargements as there was a lot of vegetation in the way.

5. This splendidly illustrated and very informative hardback book is a
useful reference for all aspects of French Natural History despite being
too large to carry in the field.
