The stilt is a bird with very long red legs and black-and-white plumage. It lives near shallow water bodies and swamps in warm regions.
The stilt differs from other plovers with its unusually long legs, which allow it to feed where other birds cannot reach. It is important for nature as a regulator of insect populations and an indicator of water body purity.
