Black-tailed godwits are a large wader. In winter they are rather dull and grey in colour. Now as we approach the summer they colour up their chests and bellies become a bright orangey-brown
They have distinctive long beaks and legs.
Wintering numbers in the UK are about 44,000 birds from the Icelandic population.
Black-tailed godwits breeding range stretching from Iceland to the far east of Russia.
A film of Godwits on the River Hamble. (filmed into the sun so not as good quality as I would have liked)
followed by stills taken from the film.
Continued Reflections from my World. 
How did you capture the pictures from the video? My technique is to use the Microsoft snipping tool.

Hi David – I downloaded a free program available here in the UK Called “Video to Photo” by mix lab. You open the program find your file – load it – then use a wheel to wind through your film then just click on the frames you want which it saves to a file really simple

I enjoyed the photos you took from the video. They certainly are interesting birds to watch. I found the information about these birds very interesting. That orange brown color makes these birds look quite beautiful.
