The Black-tailed Godwit is a large wading bird known for its long legs and distinctive long, straight bill. It has a striking plumage, with a mix of brown, black, and white feathers, particularly during the breeding season. This bird is commonly found in wetlands, mudflats, and grasslands across Europe and parts of Asia. During migration, the Black-tailed Godwit travels long distances, often flying from its breeding grounds in Iceland and Norway to wintering areas in West Africa and Southeast Asia. It feeds primarily on invertebrates, using its bill to probe into the mud for food.
