Observation details
Surprise bird! Mentioned to us by birders on the scene as we arrived at the SPTS, thanks to Mel for pointing it out to us. Lifer for Alanna, only bird she missed that Andrew got last year. FoY for Andrew. Notably smaller godwit than a MAGO, with much more brown-grey tones overall and lacking "marbling" pattern on the wings, and no patterning on the sides or breast of the bird. Pale pink at the base of the dark bill. White patch above the eye extending to a dark patch at the base of the bill also noted. Was not able to see dark underwing, but bird did shake it's tail numerous times showing white rump extending to black tipped tail feathers. Quite significant wear showing in feathers of the bird. Quite a late record. Photos to be attached.
