While the
Black-winged Stilt

are migratory ...

Some Black-tailed
Godwits are known
to stay back during
their first summer
waiting for full
reproductive maturity ...

How pleasing to get all three species in a single frame. You could be forgiven for thinking the godwit and curlew really were jousting in the background, with the stilt pretending not to be interested ;). Good work Alok!
