2 Black-tailed Godwit (European) (An already moulting juvenile close to Bishop's Hide plus a distinctive well moulted - largely grey - adult, also on Pat's Pool.

1 Black-tailed Godwit (European) (A shot of the adult - in it's own way, just as distinctive as the juvenile above - the already largely winter plumage with some remnant summer feathers is quite unlike the look of similarly aged Icelandics.) ,
