The black-winged stilt is common throughout Tanzania on salt and fresh water. The male has a fully black back while the female is partially brown on the back (see pairs in slideshow images 19 & 28). The upper bird was seen in the Serengeti (2-08), courtesy of Tom Nicholls. The lower photo was taken at Lake Burunge (4-05); click the image to see the slideshow. |
