Black-tailed Godwit

A 2nd trip to WWT Slimbridge in mid September 2024. The main aim was to photograph more Waders.

 

The Black-tailed Godwits were showing well during the day.

 

These large Wading birds are a Schedule 1 species, giving them full protection from disturbance. In summer, they have bright orangey-brown chests and bellies, while 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.
