On the shallow tidal flats of Dachaoping in Beidaihe district, Qinhuangdao, a coastal city in Hebei province, black-winged stilts have been spotted staging a quiet spectacle of courtship and bonding.
Videos captured by local photographers show the birds wading through clear, gentle ripples, their long red legs and sharp black-and-white plumage vivid against the water.
