#OddCouples is the #BirdOfTheDay challenge set by @alan678.bsky.social . Here we have the similar-but-not-the-same #MarbledGodwit and #BarTailedGodwit. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A chilly but bright early afternoon at Seton Sands #goldenplover #bartailedgodwit #turnstone @birdinglothian.bsky.social
A pair of Bar-Tailed Godwits flying low across water. Each autumn, the godwit flies from its breeding grounds in Alaska and Siberia to Australia or New Zealand to spend the winter. The bird may travel for nine or ten days, covering a mind-boggling 11,000km, without pausing to rest or eat. It's the longest journey without a pit stop of any animal on Earth.
Happy #Twosday

Bird of the day is the beautiful bar-tailed godwit. This is Barty, and he raised quite a stir when he decided to spend a couple of days at Ft. de Soto park in Florida. :) #birds #bartailedgodwit #godwit
Nice to get a share of the #BarTailedGodwit passage on patch. Thanks to low water levels and some mud edge, 8 appeared at #AlstonReservoirs yesterday and were still present today. Three of them absolutely stunning brick red full breeding plumage males. Oof. #waders #shorebirds
Nice sunny day @RSPBLeightonM. Female #Garganey and #Kingfisher in front of Lilian's hide and a good selection of sunlit #waders on the Allen and Morecambe Pools including 3 juv #GreyPlover, 2 #BartailedGodwit, 46 #Knot, 104 #Dunlin, 2 #Ruff, 2 #Greenshank and #SpottedRedshank.👌
#BarTailedGodwit Seaforth NR @Lancswildlife last December. T1 likes to dine out in winter along the Sefton coast but dresses itself beforehand on The Wash @RSPBTitchwell #Snettisham in the autumn. Thanks Phil Atkinson for the ringing gen #waders #shorebirds
Gloomy at #Seaforth this morning but only weather-wise. Lovely flock of 800 #BarTailedGodwit showing their legs off. 😍 Flagged birds from #Norway & #TheWash (I think) plus a Manx #HerringGull. Fine drake Merg still present plus the long-staying #SpottedRedshank. @RichardduFeu
