Observation details
We were driving through this section of the National Grasslands and quickly stopped due to a godwit standing in the road calling. We got out to take pictures and video, and several more birds were evident. Eventually there were a total of 6 flying around, calling, perching on barbed wire and fence posts, and standing in the road gritting. We spent about 20 incredible minutes with these birds up close, it felt like they were going to land on the car at times. We eventually pulled ourselves away, and they flew down the road with and around our vehicle for about a half mile. A wild experience with amazing birds.
