Not the best photo but sharing to get it on the #birdsseenin2026 list.
That godwit at the back is a black-tailed godwit (confirmed by a genuine expert).
An uncommon visitor to Bald Hill Beach.
Unfortunately, it was very windy and it was hunkered down - unwilling to allow me a good pic.

I’m collecting waders. I’ve got a curlew, a godwit and a dunlin. All I need now is that black and white one with the upturned bill and then I’ll avocet.

I saw a godwit on Redhorn quay, so assumed it was a Blackwit. Later, feeding just off Jerry's Point, I realised it was a Bar-tailed Godwit, which we rarely get at Lytchett. So I took about 300 photos of it...
They really do have very short limbs above the 'wrist'!

#SyncroFlying is an interesting #BirdOfTheDay theme Rob and your Godwit images are great examples. These Terns were flying together at Ayr Harbour and were giving each other the eye!
