          Thanks Tom,Jeff and Trev. I will take another look at the "darkness". Always a bit nervous to lift shadows too much. I thought Godwits had a reddish neck; not any expert but saying this from my previous photos posted by me.

            Whimbrel or curlew would be my guess.

                  Thanks Steve. Quite remarkable that they are all turning to the left for their "nap"!
