We will be on a weeklong
break ... to visit Amboli
... a lovely location in
the Western Ghats ...
that hold some
of the last
fragments of Rainforest
in India ( ... once a
1600 Km long unbroken
spread along the west
coast of India apart
from North-east ... ) ...
... and also visit our
daughter in Mumbai ...

Whimbrel ... and
Eurasian Curlew ...

present ID issues
when present together
in the field ... and
are rather remote ...

This pose here shows
the lovely head and
crown markings of a
Whimbrel ... these are
helpful in field
conditions ...

Watch these two wonderful
large Waders in the same
lucky video-clip ... uploaded
nearly a year ago ...

.... another with a very muddy bill!

A lovely picture you've taken of this guy my friend. Very well done laddie.
 
A great example of the powerful bill that can drill down into the mud for a meal. Well done!
