How amazing!!! I can't ever have seen these two together which, considering the hours I've spent on estuaries in the middle of winter, is quite incredible. I had no idea that oycs were so much bigger.

A super picture you've taken of this unlikely duo Gandalf - many thanks.

Great detail, lighting, poses, and birds, Gandalf; great getting them posing together like that

A terrific double capture, Gandalf! I would never have guessed Godwits are so much bigger.
