How interesting. So they fly North/South over open waters. Cool bird.
What an interesting picture of the Bar-tailed Godwits! Thanks for including the migration information about them, too.
That is quite a large flock. They are beautiful birds which I hope someday to photograph.
There were about 700 Godwits in this flock, on a very high tide I have seen up to 3000 Godwits roosting
Ands boy are my wings tired!
