Water Bird: Top 5 Photos of the Week
A water bird, alternatively waterbird or aquatic bird, is a bird that lives on or around water. In some definitions, the term water bird is especially applied to birds in freshwater ecosystems, although others make no distinction from seabirds that inhabit marine environments.
Now let’s see in this article, some amazing “water bird” photos that we have featured from our Facebook group.

Gangly wader with a long bicolored bill.

In flight shows rather plain upperwings with only a faint whitish wing stripe; white rump and finely barred tail. Mainly coastal away from tundra breeding grounds.
