Black-tailed godwit & Common Sanpiper

[Chocky]

Captured at Bowling Green Marsh
The first photo here as Pete has kindly pointed out is a Black-tailed godwit (which I should have known), the second a Sandpiper in front of a Little Grebe the third unfortunately the Sandpiper is flying away

Beryl, I really don't want to keep doing this but am convinced you would sooner I did than didn't.

Your first pic is of a Black-tailed Godwit. Your third is exactly what you say it is......a Common Sandpiper flying away.

Pete.

Oh dear. I'm just not too switched on these days. I can see no that it is
Thanks Pete.
I appreciate you letting me know.
I was so tired last night my head hit the keyboard several time before I gave in and had to go to bed

[Merlin]

So long as you are OK today Beryl I'm not going to worry about last night......are you!

By the way, this bird can sometimes be confused with the Bar-tailed Godwit at a distance.

Pete.

Yes I, not doing to badly tonight
I think though the Bar -tailed has a slightly turned up beak
