I have no idea what bird it is. The Oodnadatta Track is probably not its regular haunt.
But like so many other creatures, it’s taking advantage of all the bugs (that’s a scientific term), frogs, tadpoles and little fish that are having their day in the sunny pools and streams all over our sodden outback this summer.
I believe this may be a Black Winged Stilt
Thanks Andrew for the information on the Black Winged Stilt.
I Googled the bird and found some interesting reading about it.
