Long-billed Dowitcher

I went to Slimbridge WWT today and had a real struggle to see the long staying Long-billed Dowitcher. When I arrived all the Black tailed Godwits were resting with their beaks tucked in and it was impossible to pick out the lone American wader. After two hours the birds suddenly flew up and quickly back down and became more active with some feeding. It was then that the Dowitcher became evident at the front of the other birds feeding furiously. Much smaller than the Godwits, all dark, long beak and paler green/yellow legs. It has lost its lovely orange colour over the last week as it continues to moult. It still has a little orange on the undertail coverts and good scapular markings. I managed a distant record shot.
The only other notable sighting today was a Goshawk soaring over forest from the M6 in Staffordshire seen from the car!
