We saw just one of these on a beach amongst many plovers, turnstones and sanderlings. It was the same size and profile as a Greenshank, but the legs were not green and neck/breast was beige not white. Consulting books, I wonder if it was a Godwit? Any suggestions appreciated, I would love to know what it was! Thank you.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Thank you. Those are both useful to know.
