Hi everyone
Been to Pensthorpe in Norfolk today and took a photograph of what I think may be a Bar Tailed Godwit (my OH says Curlew), but am not sure.
Please can anyone help ID this bird?
Many thanks  |

Definitely a Godwit, not sure which one though! Curlews are uniform brown (well, speckly brown) with a curved bill. |

The bill of a curlew curls downwards, so its not that. |

I think it might be the Black-tailed Godwit - Limosa limosa but not sure.
