Slender black bill distinctly curved upwards, unique among birds in Türkiye
Crisply demarcated black areas on a white body: black cap and nape, two black wing bars
Legs blue-grey, whereas the stilt sharing the same wetland has pink legs
Sweeps the bill side to side like a scythe through shallow water, while the stilt picks single prey
Swims readily and even up-ends like a duck, thanks to its webbed feet
