Bar-tailed Godwit - Limosa lapponica
Canon 800mm f7.1 for 1/800th @ iso400
Along the Wirral coastline from Parkgate and views of both the Short-eared and Barn owls is Meols. Like Parkgate, Meols is a coastal venue but unlike Parkgate which has a reed marsh for as far as the eye can see, this venue has endless sand and mudflats. The beach stretches all the way to New Brighton and around the corner at Perch Rock towards Liverpool.
Along this stretch of prom numerous sea birds feed between the tides on the beach. Godwits can often be seen along with Curlew, Redshank, Oystercatchers and large flocks of Shelduck.
