Did your stuff again with this one Beryl. Exciting if unfortunate for the 'godwit' but nature knows no sympathy or consideration for others when it comes to picking up a meal.

By the way Beryl......looks like a Black-tailed Godwit with the straight long bill, the Bar-tailed Godwit has a slightly upturned bill plus some other features which seperate the two but are not available in your 'no time to mess about' images......well done.

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
