Observation details
Feeding nonchalantly on the mudflat near the base of Dungeness Spit, about 1/4 miles out on the bay side. Very large shorebird with very long decurved bill. Possible female - very long bill. The bill is actually fairly straight for the first half, then long arcing down. Faint markings on head, unlike stronger markings on Whimbrel. Used the tip of its bill to delicately pick and probe in the mud. Backlit distant photos.
