black-tailed godwits

A lucky picture of the Godwits flying towards me and only slightly cropped

Well Peeps, Its that end of the week again...I hope y'all have a great weekend.

As we neared Tulcea, our local guide had the bus stop by a wetlands. He said this would be a foretaste of the delta. There was a rather dangerous road between us and the wetland and then a long stretch of deep mud, so no getting close to the bird life ... which also means no way we would disturb...

A bit of 'Godwit' fighting going on despite of having the whole area to share. Everyone stopped in their tracks as the birds had a 'verbal' temper tantrum with one another

Hi Peeps, its post and run from me...I'm off to Dungy (weather permitting). I cant wait to get out for the first time this year, so see y'all later.

Well Peeps, I'm using an old beat up house PC this morning, as me lappy has gone away to the PC doctor. Our other lappy has died on us, so I'm wonderin if I should invest in a Mac Book Pro or not? It would be interesting to hear your views on that. This thing takes forever to...

A bit of a way off for this shot, and the bird on the right jumped almost out of the frame...Yup, I know my old reflexes ain't what they used to be, but as one of BF's would say " I think I like it", LOL.

A distant shot.

Coming into the high tide roost this morning.

Two black-tailed godwits foraging among small waders on a sandy beach . Strong sunlight and very white sand. I am still learning how to use my new camera and I very often have the feeling that somehow I don't get it quite right, maybe something wrong about my settings.

The view over the mudflats at high tide today.

I was at Marshside in Southport for the afternoon looking at the black-tailed Godwits, it was a bright sunny day and there was plenty of godwits to choose from
