Godwitt ?? in flight

[docholiday]

Think this is a Bar Tailed Godwit, but would welcome confirmation, South coast last week,

Could be sharper but 50%crop, still practicing my BIF, any advice welcome

Can't be 100% but think it's a bar tail as black tailed sould show more orange/buff breast feathers at this time of year. Follow this link as you saw more of the bird and may have a better idea.

Black tailed Godwit. Nice shot.

This would be the same bird then?

Not all birds have their summer plumage yet. I took these a week ago.

Nice shot whichever one it is

Don't forget only the male 'Blackwits' take on the distinctive summer plumage!

'Barwits' have a slight upturned bill at the tip...it's a trick of the water in the first shot me thinks that this is evident, so I'd say this is a Blackwit too
