Black-tailed Godwit.

To compliment the post on my main blog I'm sharing a few more images of the Black-tailed Godwits (Limosa limosa) that I watched feeding and preening inside the North Wall at Pagham Harbour on the weekend.

These birds are slowly changing from their colourful full summer plumage into their plain grey winter garb.

Linking to WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.

Preening Dunlin

Dunlin (Calidris alpina) in its drabber winter plumage captured preening during a recent trip to the north Norfolk coast.  Taken with 70-300 lens at 300mm; F11: 1/320; ISO 400.   FAB
