The two British Godwits are easy to tell apart if you see them in flight. Black-tailed Godwit has a black tail and a huge white wing stripe whereas this Bar-tailed Godwit has a barred tail and no wing stripe, rather like a Curlew. The names of both of these birds were coined in 1828 by John Fleming in his History of British Animals. Prior to that Bar-tailed was known as the Common Godwit (or simply Godwit). while Black-tailed was unhelpfully called "the second sort of Godwit" by Ray (1678) then later Red or Red-breasted Godwit in the mid eighteenth century. That wasn't very helpful as both species are red in breeding plumage.
Bar-tailed Godwits are common on sandy estuaries in winter but not common at all away from their regular coastal sites. The British population is about 50,000 in winter, but they have never bred in Britain. They breed on Arctic tundra adjacent to the Arctic Ocean from Lapland right across to Alaska but these eastern populations do not winter in Britain. Those from eastern Siberia winter in West Africa but stop off to refuel in Britain on their way back north in May. The ones from Alaska winter in New Zealand but they make the 11,000km journey without stopping and it takes them about 7 days to complete.
I photographed this individual coming into land on the Humber Estuary in East Yorkshire. I thought this photograph showed off its wing and tail pattern beautifully.

New York Mid Town Skyline at sunrise through the bars of the pedestrian walkway on Williamsburg Bridge
You get a great view from the subway train as it crosses the Williamsburg bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan... I though I would have a walk at sunrise... no clear view for pedestrians though. It was a great walk with just a few cyclists and joggers for company and still a lovely way to start the day despite the caged in feel...
A Goat Boat guides a westbound manifest bound for Fresno CA down the Feather River Canyon at Rich Bar in the last few minutes of sun.
The No 90 Bar is on Wallis Road in Hackney Wick. The building features a mural created in 2015 by Argentinian street artists Martin Ron & Jiant.
Martin Ron paints hyper-realistic images, which often incorporate elements of fantasy or machinery, making for his own distinct style of urban surrealism. Where as Jiant’s works focus primarily on animals and fantasy driven landscapes, presenting a surreal depiction of the cosmic energy in the world.
This superb collaboration blends the two artists respective styles seamlessly, with Martin Ron offering up the pair of fragmentary hyper-realistic portraits, decorated by Jiant’s contrasting vibrant head dresses. (londoncallingblog.net)
