Observation details
A couple of Bar-tailed Godwits in their breeding plumage managed to trick me before I finally spotted it. Despite having seen this impressive bird before, I still had to use my scope to get a clear view. Once I locked onto it and recalled my previous sighting, I noticed its stomach markings were a patchy orange, quite distinct from the Bar-tailed Godwit. It appeared smaller than the Bar-tailed ones nearby, with a slightly upturned bill and a black tail. I also caught a brief glimpse of its dark underwings. Please see the images as a reference.
