Black-tailed Godwit at Llanelli Wetland Centre in Wales

Adult Black-tailed Godwit in breeding plumage at Llanelli Wetland Centre in Wales on 12 July 2018. This year we only saw 8 godwits, although there were about 300 in the area. The tide was low so they were probably out on the estuary mudflats.

Another black-tailed Godwit at Llanelli on 12 July 2018. I love seeing these godwits at Llanelli.

First summer Black-tailed Godwit at Llanelli on 12 July 2018. This bird probably oversummered here and did not return to the breeding grounds.
