Barwit

A quick one on a Bar-tailed Godwit that's been knocking around the Linkshouse Beach (Mid Yell) for the past three days, Just a couple of shots.

 I first found it while off on a small boat with a friend, a managed to get a record shot then

If I mind right this is my first on Yell

Preening itself

Note upward curving bill which differs from the Black-tailed Godwit which has a thick straight bill

(and pattern and other things of course)
