Winged Jewel : Black Winged Stilt

 "Black Winged Stilt" is one of our favourite birds because of its long  pink legs. This bird is usually found near water bodies. Though it has a reputation of being shy, this time it seemed very friendly and gave us an opportunity to captures its various moods.

    wonder if it is possible to catch different facial expressions of a bird with high zoom.. will we be able to differentiate if it is happy/sad etc?
