Observation details
Focused on the bird that looked a bit different from expected. It didn't really look like a black-tailed godwith. It was on quite long distance, and I first took it for a bar-tailed, as it looked to have a bit upbent beak, impression of a stouter body, and it did not look that long-legged, as the grass had some length. However, the supercilium was not so strong, and weaker behind the eye. It never flew or opened the wings during observation, so tail and lower back were not seen. Upon good arguments, I am willing to change my mind for the bird on the photos...
