Black-tailed / Hudsonian Godwit, Miranda

Post by TonyWilson »

Today at Miranda I spotted a Black-tailed Godwit 'type'. Unfortunately never got an under wing view so not sure what sort but Keith says a Black-tailed Godwit was present through most of the winter. The bird was quite small (a male).
Also present was the Semi Pal. 3 Curlew Sandpiper, 3 Red-necked Stint, and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper and several Turnstone.

Cheers,
Tony.
