The bird on the left is an Avocet but I'm not sure about the bird on the right.
I though it was a Green shank but it's beak is straight and too long. I'm not sure if it is a godwit as it's neck is either too short or tucked up
Maybe a black tailed. What does any one reckon please

Hi Chocky

It’s a Black-tailed Godwit. Nice to have these two together for a shot.

Thank you

Yes there were a couple of Avocets and the other birds were too far out except that one. ( the godwit)
