EDITORS COMMENTS
Awkwardly adorable! This young Black-winged Stilt is taking its first steps in the shallow waters of Hong Kong. With its long, slender legs and fluffy feathers, it's hard not to smile at this juvenile wader exploring its surroundings. Hailing from both Africa and Asia, this little stilt embodies the perfect blend of cultures. Its black wings give it a touch of elegance while strutting through the oriental marshes. Who knew such a tiny creature could bring together two continents? In September, as summer transitions into autumn, this curious bird takes advantage of the tranquil wetlands to practice walking on stilts - quite literally! It's like watching a rookie acrobat finding their balance on a high wire. With each step carefully placed in the crystal-clear water, our young stilt proves that even immaturity can be graceful. As it navigates through the tropical marshlands with determination and charm, we can't help but admire its tenacity. This print captures an enchanting moment in nature where innocence meets adventure. So let's celebrate this delightful encounter between East and West as we witness one small bird making big waves in Hong Kong's vibrant ecosystem.
