Black-winged Stilt

(Himantopus himantopus)

Sightings

In July 2005 and again in November 2006 we spotted Black-winged Stilts on Dangars Lagoon near Uralla, New South Wales.

In January 2006 a family turned up at our former neighbour's place, settling in around his billabong 20 km south of Narrabri, New South Wales.
