The Black-tailed Godwit:
Its breeding range stretches from Iceland through Europe and areas of central Asia. Black-tailed Godwits spend winter in areas as diverse as the Indian Subcontinent, Australia, western Europe and west Africa. The species breeds in fens, lake edges, damp meadows, moorlands and bogs and uses estuaries, swamps and floods in winter. The world population is estimated to be 634,000 to 805,000 birds and is classified as Near Threatened. The sexes are similar, but in breeding plumage, they can be separated by the male's brighter, more extensive orange breast, neck and head. In winter, adult Black-tailed Godwits have a uniform brown-grey breast and upperparts. It measures 42 cm from bill to tail with a wingspan of 70–82 cm. Males weigh around 280 g and females 340 g. The female is around 5% larger than the male, with a bill 12-15% longer.

Thank you for looking,

Hello JeanMarie Mouveroux
indeed this is a lovely and powerful shot. How I like on seeing the details of the feather in an exciting light. The shallow depth gives a lovely impact and render a wonderful scene.
Excellent camera control and splendid composition.
Thanks for your comment which is very useful in my future shots.

Regards
Foozi
