Bar-tailed Godwit – Hakodate Birding

A jogging Barwit

It was pretty hot yesterday but the Godwit was happy jogging along the beach.

I didn’t jog after it.

Bar-tailed Godwits are aptly named as you can see when they fly………….

Off the same beach, a couple of Ospreys were fishing……..

There was a lone Bar-tailed Godwit on the beach yesterday…………….

A juvenile I think, it was pretty tame.

Waders have started appearing: this Bar-tailed Godwit was near Oshamanbe.

A few Wood Sandpipers were also around as well as some Kentish Plover. Little Ringed Plovers are summer breeders and are in many locations now.
