Three of the same, with musical bonus (#10 in series: black-winged stilt)

 

 

Two questions arise when considering all three birds in today’s featured image.

The obvious one: “clearly, their wings are not black, so how do they merit their name?”

The other one: “why is Himantopus himantopus in the Guinness Book of Records?”

Three of the same (#2 in series: three-striped roofed turtles)

 

 

One very rarely sees a reptilian troika.

Unsurprisingly, Batagur dhongoka – this post’s critically endangered species – is this little series’ sole reptile.

The behaviour depicted is characteristic…and it greatly boosts a human’s chances of enjoying a proper look, even taking a reasonable photo…
