I had the chance to photograph these attractive waders at Slimbridge WWT. Always liked seeing the Godwits when I went out birding as a kid. Anyway hope you like...

Thanks very much for the replies everyone, Arty slimbridge is good if your a birder as well as a photographer as the wetland areas (the areas for naturally occuring birds) get quite a lot of different species. Mitch there were plenty of stones not to far away.....but there were a lot of gulls there....maybe they were mad because they couldnt get to them :lol:
