Morning all...not very good at my Godwits, is this a Bar-tailed or a Black-tailed.

Thanks

Andy...

To help; Bar-tailed look to me like a curlew with a godwit beak, Black-tailed much more uniform plumage. Also tibia length; short (bar) versus long (black).

Thanks very much, WP...I've just been looking at my Collins guide and can clearly see what you mean with regards to the plumage.
