Black Tailed Godwit

** This Black Tailed Godwit looks pretty handsome with its summer plumage I am not sure of the birds gender. This was taken at RSPB Blacktoft Sands in East Yorkshire

 

These large wading birds are a reasonably common species. In summer, they have bright orangey-brown chests and bellies, but in winter they're more greyish-brown.

Their most distinctive features are their long beaks and legs, and the black and white stripes on their wings. Female black-tailed godwits are bigger and heavier than the males, with a noticeably longer beak
