Black- winged Stilt settling on her nest

She kept flicking her feet to get rid of the mud before she settled down.

Got to respect how hard it is for some mums.
Well spotted and lovely shot, of quite a tender moment.

A houseproud stilt - imagine keeping the mud out would be almost impossible. Lovely shot, perfectly timed.

Thank you so much. It was interesting to watch her flicking the mud off her feet as she walked back to the nest, first the left, then the right and so on. She almost looked as if she was dancing.
