CommentA visit to Reef Island in Western Port in search of the Hudsonian Godwit proved successful and this bird, along with a number of Bar-tailed Godwit, provided us with an extended photographing opportunity. This shot was taken as they departed and, fortuitously, provided an excellent comparison of the two species - Bar-tailed in front, Hudsonian following.
