Black-tailed Godwit(Limosa Limosa)

The first Godwit I have seen in breeding plumage and he is looking pretty good. That beak is really huge, but he doesn't look at all akward as I feel some birds(the Curlew or Whimbel for instance) do with such a large protuberance, and the addition of brighter orange makes it more colourful. The more orange/rust colour continues with the neck feathers and tan feathers on his back and wings. I'm pretty confident a female Godwit would think he was in fabulous shape.
