Description:

Summary[edit] Description: The Pied Stilt Himantopus leucocephalus is a dainty wading bird with, as its name suggests, black-and-white coloration and very long legs. It is common at wetlands and coastal areas throughout New Zealand and may be seen feeding alongside oystercatchers. Pied Stilts tend to be shy of people and fly away, yapping, when approached.
